Pollinate program applications are open for the 2025 cohort at www.RockSteadyFarm.com/pollinate “do you identify as a QTBIPOC beginning farmer? Are you a resident of the northeast? Are you interested in building your farming knowledge?” 3 Images of QTBIPOC farmers sitting on a truck, holding green onions in a field and smiling, or carrying a red crate full of vegetables together while walking through a row of green leafy vegetables. There are line-drawn bees in each of the four corners of the square image card taken as a snapshot from the Instagram page of Rock Steady Farm.

Costco will be building a towering 800 apartment complex on top of one of it's store starting early this year.

The complex will include 184 affordable apartments, aiming to provide housing to lower-income residents in a historically underdeveloped area.

Go support this California-based BIPOC-led permaculture design course for BIPOC learners to understand the indigenous origins of permaculture. Next cohort is April 2025

www.rootspdc.com
In yellow letters over a field of orange and yellow flowers: “R.O.O.T.S. Permaculture Design Certification Course”. At the top of the page a 2-D drawing of two afro-indigenous women dressed in all white face each on opposite sides of a tree that displays yellow vertical letter “R.O.O.T.S.”. They stand above the tree’s roots while balancing a basket filled with crops on their heads and holding a hoe (in the right hand of the woman on the left) and a rake (in the left hand of the woman on the right). ROOTS is a one of a kind Permaculture Design Course (PDC) for people of color, exploring the indigenous origins of permaculture concepts taught from culturally relevant perspectives from a diverse group of people. We create space for understanding our roles as stewards and reclaiming empowerment through holistic design methods. Our goal is to deliver knowledge and an experience that facilitates connected oneness with Mother Earth and healing for our collective spirit.
