Be a part of the movement to support regenerative Be a part of the movement to support regenerative agriculture in the Finger Lakes. Make a gift to Groundswell today! 🌿 At Groundswell Center, we keep an eye towards regenerating the land. We aim to educate the farming community about respecting the land they live on by building soil health, minimizing water use, and reducing fossil fuel input, ensuring all of our interactions with the land are full of respect and reciprocity. 🌿 We teach that, by definition, regenerative agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that increase biodiversity, enrich the soil, improve watersheds, and enhance ecosystems and their services. We acknowledge that the Haudenosaunee people stewarded and still steward the land we live on in the Finger Lakes Region; and that colonization and western conventional farming has been a huge disservice to Indigenous communities' land knowledge and sovereignty. 🌿 To do better by the land her people, we need your support.

Be a part of the movement to support BIPOC and beg Be a part of the movement to support BIPOC and beginning farmers. Make a gift to Groundswell today! 🌻 The importance of land access cannot be understated. Though the forces working against farmers struggling to access farmland are pervasive and long-standing, we at Groundswell are committed to securing land for farmers who have historically been left out of the land ownership equation. 🌿 Since Groundswell’s founding, we have focused on supporting refugee and immigrant communities in Upstate NY, and worked tirelessly in partnering with organizations in the Ithaca area to connect new farmers to land and training. ✨ This year we launched our inaugural Farmer Training Program, an intensive apprentice program, developed and led by farmers of color, for BIPOC community members who aspire to become farmers and be a part of the agricultural food system. The Farmer Training Program provides hands-on and technical farming experience for five apprentice farmers. ✨This September, we graduated our inaugural class! ✨ We are proud of the success of the recent graduates and are excited to continue to work with the alumni as they secure land, start new employment in the agricultural field, expand their local product businesses and more. ☀️ To continue to do this work - well and right - we need your support to expand our Farmer Training Program and Incubator Farm, hire more staff, continue to pay true living wages with benefits, and lead the new paradigm thinking for just practices and policies in agriculture and beyond.
