🌱 Food as Resistance Presentation: Exploring Cultural Foods

On Saturday, Delta Fresh Foods Initiative had the pleasure of joining We2 Gather in Drew for an engaging educational session focused on “Food as Resistance: Exploring Cultural Foods.”

The Delta Fresh Foods Farm Manager provided gardening education and technical assistance to participants, sharing practical knowledge about growing food, strengthening gardening skills, and recognizing the important connection between food, culture, community, and self-sufficiency.

We were pleased to host Sada Meeks and the Garden Club group for this meaningful learning experience.

Through partnerships and hands-on education, Delta Fresh Foods continues to encourage communities to grow, learn, and reconnect with the cultural significance of the foods we cultivate and share. 🌱🥬🍅
