About First Mother Farms
Founded in 2015, First Mother Farms emerged from a commitment to regenerative land stewardship, cultural tending, and community education. Over time, the work has evolved from a fixed farm site into a relationship-based, multi-site practice rooted in Indigenous and diasporic traditions.
Our work is shaped by lived experience, land-based practice, birth justice advocacy, and graduate-level research in ecology, philosophy, and cultural studies.
Our Values
Reciprocity
Responsibility
Cultural continuity
Care over extraction
Relationship over ownership
First Mother Farms is fiscally sponsored by Givinga Foundation.
A Note on Our Evolution
First Mother Farms’ work has grown over time. To honor the land-based projects and offerings that shaped our practice from 2015 to 2025, we’ve created an Archive that holds our earlier work and reflections.
