For those familiar with the origin story of this farm, you know how much grief played a role in its inception. As we embark on the journey of transforming the farm into a healing space for all in 2025, we couldn’t be more honored to host our very first event: a grief support group on the Winter Solstice.

This special gathering will be led by licensed professional counselor Laura D'eugenio, whose compassionate guidance will help create a comforting space for all.

Thanksgiving Day seems like the perfect day to start this new book that found me this summer. As we look towards the future of this healing land we steward here at the Growing Minds Farm, we pause today to honor the resilience, heritage, and invaluable contributions of Indigenous peoples who once occupied it. Their stories, cultures, and traditions are deeply woven into the fabric of our history, yet their voices have often been silenced and their rights denied.

Let us acknowledge the struggles they continue to face, including the fight for land sovereignty, cultural preservation, seed sovereignty and justice. This is a time to reflect, listen, and stand in solidarity, ensuring their legacies are respected and their futures empowered.

Together, let’s celebrate the rich traditions of Indigenous communities and commit to a future that uplifts and honors their heritage.

Meet Tay-Tay (aka Taylor Swift the turkey). She is always ready to help as a beloved mascot trail construction supervisor and loves to weigh in during trail meetings at Growing Minds Educational Farm. Tay-Tay is willing to bring her ideas and feedback at appropriate, and really any time at all.

She is proudly displaying new plumage, after surviving an attack from an animal predator. Tay-Tay wants us all to know she is on the mend. Lookin good girl, and thanks for your support on this project and bringing good energy to all the animals and humans on the farm.

Now if you think my post is long, get ready, Tay-Tay wants me to remind you of what we are doing.
