Sweet Hollow Farm is a multiracial, queer worker-owned cooperative farm growing vegetables & herbs on one acre of Coast Salish lands in Woodinville, WAWhat We Want, What We Believe
We believe in growing plants we love– foods from the uncommon, the unclaimed and reclaimed, the never homogenous or easy to pin down corners of where food becomes culture. Armed with the sensual, liberatory power of food and a love of complexity, we want to transform our relationship with food, land, and care. We want to build the models we need to end capitalism and see the de-commodified and liberated food systems we deserve. We believe that stewarding land and the foodshed is a form of community care, a way we practice interdependence with our environment and each other. We want that stewardship to be free, reciprocal, accessible, and transformative. We farm to support the right of self-determination for all people over their bodies, lives, and foodways. We believe in a creative and collaborative relationship with the communities we are a part of and serve. |
veroVero is a queer, nonbinary, disabled, and multiracial person of Chilean-Mapuche, Chinese, and European American descent. Vero came into farming and food systems work as a way of building a meaningful relationship to land and people; to practice their politics and enact community through land based work; and to restore connection with their cultural histories and ancestral foods. Vero weaves farming together with practical knowledge of food systems development, food sovereignty, and anti-oppressive food access towards transformative and autonomous food systems futures. When they’re not at the farm or in a meeting, Vero loves to cook and feast as often as possible with the ones they love.
