We have Organic Community Gardens in NJ, PA, and MD which provide the space for people to: Grow their own food, practice working cooperatively in a group, reclaim sustainable agricultural knowledge, and build food sovereignty in their communities. We provide education on Agroecology and Herbal Medicines. Members learn how to identify native plants and what their medicinal properties are and share their home herbal remedies with others. Most recently, we started working with youth through an internship that launched this year where youth ages 14-19 have the opportunity to learn about our food system, alternatives and also work in the garden to learn how to grow food. | Oct. 11- Oct. 31 | New Jersey | Online | Kathia Ramirez | CATA- The Farmworkers Support Committee | 8565755511 | cata-farmworkers.org | ||||||||||||||||||
