FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We strive for transparency and the clearest communication possible. Below are questions we commonly receive and hope it helps direct you to the answers you’re looking for.

Q: Is Earthseed a nonprofit?

Yes, Earthseed operates through a nonprofit fiscal sponsor and receives grants and donations to support its work. All contributions are tax-deductible and go directly to programs like youth education and community nourishment.

Q: Why focus on African descended and Indigenous communities?

Earthseed is rooted in history, which includes long-standing institutional practices of land theft, disconnection, and environmental harm that disproportionately impact African descended and Indigenous people. This focus is about returning access, power, and possibility to the communities most affected by these harms.

Q: Can I become a volunteer?

We don’t have volunteer opportunities at this time; however, we will be developing a volunteer program in the near future! Please sign up for our newsletter to be notified when it launches.

Q: Can I visit the farm?

Yes! Earthseed loves welcoming aligned folks to the land! We have seasonal events, U-Pick days, and tours that are open to the public or by invitation. U-Picks are bookable in advance here on our site. You can also join our mailing list to be notified about seasonal events.

Q: What makes Earthseed different from other farms or orgs?

Earthseed is a sanctuary for rest, reconnection, learning, and cultural resilience. It’s African Descended and Indigenous-led, and everything we do, from growing fruit-kin to hosting residencies, is rooted in healing, ancestral wisdom, and justice.

Q: How do I donate or get involved?

We appreciate any and all donations to support our work! You can contribute to our donation page here. There are also non-monetary ways to plug in, depending on what speaks to you. Please contact Info@EarthseedFarm.org with the subject line “Get Involved” to inquire about these opportunities.

Q: How does my monetary donation make a difference?

Even a small gift helps Earthseed offer free youth programs, fairly pay artists and land stewards, and provide nourishing food to the community. Your donation is part of a bigger ecosystem of care.
