Join owner and founder of Rooted Luv Farm, Chaz Rawls, in this thought-provoking session, exploring aspects of growing food that go beyond techniques for food production, but also relationships with other living beings. Partnering with Nature instead of extracting it, approaching the work in the garden as work on oneself, and learning the story of the plants and their connection to the people are some attitudes towards growing food that have been the foundation of Rooted Luv farm. Join Chaz in learning his story, and also exploring what growing food means to you. This event is part of the Honorable Harvest lecture series, organized in alignment with the Kalamazoo Foodways Symposium, and inspired by the beloved Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Kimmerer describes the Indigenous principles and practices of the Honorable Harvest, asking us to give back in reciprocity for what we have been given. Join us in this lecture series to explore ways in which we can come together to nurture and restore the Honorable Harvest in our communities and in our every day lives.
Arrive as early as 5 p.m. to enjoy Taps on Tuesday, a happy hour-style event hosted by Kalamazoo Valley’s culinary and brewing students.
