Seeding Solidarity

A Food Sovereignty Collaborative of Woven Roots Farm & Finca Luna Búho

For 15 years, Woven Roots Farm has provided CSA shares for our vulnerable community members who otherwise might not have access to fresh, local vegetables. We are proud to share that since 2019 our commitment to food justice has grown into an initiative called Seeding Solidarity with our sibling farm, Finca Luna Búho.

Seeding Solidarity is the largest solidarity share program in the region, providing weekly vegetable distributions to our vulnerable community members who might otherwise lack access to fresh, local vegetables. However, it's more than a food program—it's a movement for food justice, land connection, and collective care. For over two decades, our work has ensured that fresh, culturally relevant food is accessible to immigrant, BIPOC, and working-class families—all while centering language justice, agricultural education, and community empowerment. 

What We Do

Seeding Solidarity connects people with nourishing food and ancestral knowledge through:

  • Weekly door-to-door delivery of fresh produce grown at Woven Roots Farm

  • Workshops, knowledge shares, and land-based community gatherings where Black, Indigenous, people of color, and queer lives and voices are centered

  • Agricultural education in partnership with local schools and organizations

  • Support for migrant justice and cultural connection.

  • Deeply relational, trust-based organizing led by immigrants/BIPOC

  • Language accessibility and justice: 98% of our community is Spanish-speaking — every communication starts in Spanish, then gets translated into English, centering our experiences of language justice.
