Highlighted Partnerships
Finca Luna Búho
Cheshire, MA
Woven Roots Farm works with this Finca Luna Búho to collectively create safe, uplifting support and land (re)connection for BIPOC, queer, immigrant, adoptee, and transracial adoptee, poor, and disabled community members. Through land (re)connection, food access, resilient skill-sharing, transformational workshops, and direct consultation, we create equitable and participatory practices that nurture, empower, and heal one another.
Together, Finca Luna Búho and Woven Roots Farm cares for our collective food sovereignty program, Seeding Solidarity.
Home City Housing
Springfield, MA
Through their Resident Engagement Programs, Home City Housing collaborates with numerous partners to create programs for after-school teen enrichment, workforce readiness, financial independence, early childhood literacy, homeownership counseling, and community gardening. Woven Roots is proud to work with Springfield youth leaders in the areas of food sovereignty, business development, and practical skill sharing.
The Northeast Collaborative Beekeepers Network
The Network is a grassroots network addressing the distinct challenges of building a resilient and equitable beekeeping industry in the Northeast, led by They Keep Bees and Island Bee Project in collaboration with Woven Roots Farm.
The Network’s approach is rooted in relationship, shared learning, and the practical skills beekeepers need to care for healthy colonies in a changing climate.
The Network supports small- to mid-scale beekeepers by equipping them with strategies, resources, and education on sustainable honey bee care. Simultaneously, the network fosters a community of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC beekeepers in the Northeast who share resources, skills, and bees.
Sonrisas
Cheshire, MA
In 2005, Sonrisas was founded by a collective of community members from the cooperative village of El Largartillo, Nicaragua, to grow upon their ancestral model of solidarity not charity that they had build throughout the years during the revolution.
Sonrisas organizes across imposed borders, bringing together lived experiences of those from strategically exploited countries. Through uplifting those whose needs are most inaccessible, we weave community that is rooted in care.
We are proud to be fiscally sponsored by Sonrisas.
The Want of Spring
Tyringham, MA
The Want of Spring offers an immersive ritual experience designed by artists Renee Benson, Doria Bramante, and Jen Salinetti. These experiences are intended to deepen connections to the land, promote physiological and psychological balance, and foster a sense of community among participants. The project integrates art, performance, music, sculpture, ritual, and sustainable farming practices to encourage direct engagement with the land and its history.
