Learn About Squash of the Americas with PFP

Join Kathryn and the team at Poughkeepsie Farm Project to learn about winter squash, indigenous culture and farming practices! Then learn about a Haitian recipe using winter squash called Soup Joumou.

The word of the day is indigenous! Find out about the indigenous story and wisdom of the three sisters - corn, beans and squash and the practice of seed saving to grow the three sisters crops!

Relax and get centered with a mindful moment of deep breathing, and a nature moment in our seed saving garden. Then learn about indigenous seed keeper Rowen White who is growing ancestral Mohawk seeds with SeedShed in New York's Hudson Valley.
