Nourishing Soil, People, and Community

The Organic Farm School Film


In a world grappling with climate change, food insecurity, and a disconnection from the natural world, regenerative agriculture emerges as a method and a movement. It's a call to action, urging us to rethink how we interact with our environment, food, and each other. This evening, we delve into the heart of regenerative agriculture and its profound impact on soil, people, and communities.

Join us for an inspiring evening of film and discussion.

Wednesday, February 21 | 7:00 PM

Profits from this event go to Organic Farm School

Starting with a short documentary on the Organic Farm School, a story showcasing regenerative agriculture's journey, the evening continues with two additional short documentaries on communities across the U.S. embracing regenerative agriculture: an African American community in Ohio and a Navajo community in New Mexico. Together, these films produced by Thriving Communities highlight the diverse approaches and cultural connections that enrich the practice of regenerative agriculture.

The screenings will be followed by discussion and culminate in an informal gathering at Zech Hall, where attendees can enjoy small bites and a no-host bar, fostering community and continued conversation.

Take advantage of this exciting opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired by the potential of regenerative agriculture to nurture the community.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
