In this episode, Prentis sits down with farmer, seedkeeper, and Indigenous seed and food sovereignty activist, Rowen White. Rowen is the founder and Creative Director of Sierra Seeds, an organic seed cooperative focusing on local seed production and education. Listen as these two explore how seeds operate as gateways to our lineage and how our current disconnection manifests as grief. Rowen invites us to remember and reconnect to our histories, the wisdom of our ancestors, and to the collective as our source of sustenance.
