As always our show is produced on occupied Abanaki land, specifically the land of the Kennebeck nation. We pay a portion of our show proceeds to the Wabanaki alliance in the form of rent. Remember, land acknowledgements are a good first step, and rents are better, but nothing is a substitute for land back and indigenous sovereignty.

Today we would like to recommend the afro-indigenous farmer Chris Newman and his cooperative farm network Sylvanaqua farms. On top of a lot of great articles trashing colonizer farming, Joel Salatin, and more, Chris Newman shows all of the great work being done by his cooperative farm network and mutual aid projects. While you learn a lot just by following him on social media, if you subscribe to his patreon you get hands on round tables discussing cooperative farm practices and more.
