Welcoming the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust this summer!

This August 2-4, the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust community will converge on the campus of Smith College for an extraordinary conference called   We the Land!  A Gathering for Indigenous, Black, Latinx, Asian, SWANA & PoC Earth Workers, Land Stewards, and Farmers.

Whether or not you are attending, as local allies and advocates for this community, we can support the gathering in two meaningful ways:

1) Make a financial contribution to NEFOC LT to support an equitable fee structure for conference participants.   The sliding scale for the three-day event is $15-550.   You can help create more capacity by offsetting conference costs.

2) Offer housing and carpooling!    Whether or not you are a person of color, the conference organizers welcome offers of homestays or ridesharing for conference goers.    Click here to access a spreadsheet where you can describe yourself and the resources you can offer.

For more information about the conference, you can reach the organizers at wetheland@northeastfarmersofcolor.org.    For more information about how to support or engage with NEFOC LT during the convergence, email Gaby Immerman at the Smith College Botanic Garden, which is serving as the on-campus partner for the gathering, at gimmerma@smith.edu.
