UPDATES: 
October 11th & 12th!
“Haki Farmers Collective seeks to bolster and reincorporate traditional and inherently sustainable farming knowledge that is present in our migrant and indigenous communities. By holding close decolonization frameworks, Haki seeks to encourage our intersecting Black, Indigenous and Immigrant peoples to reclaim life-giving knowledge of truly sustainable foodways and plant medicine creation. We believe disseminating this knowledge is an urgent mission to care for our bodies, communities & our Earth.
What is Sorghum?
Sorghum is an African indigenous cereal grain which holds rich food tradition for Black and Brown communities across the world.
Inspired by Haki’s founding members roots in Kenya, for the last three years, we have been learning how to acclimate and grow sweet sorghum (called Muhia in our mother tongue) at our collective farm in rural Thurston County. The planting, harvest, and processing of sorghum is a communal tradition passed down through the generations.
Sorghum produces its high nutritional value as a milled grain, and its unique sugar -filled stalks, which we press and boil into sorghum molasses. We invite you to be a part of the process by participating in the early fall harvest and processing of our Sorghum/Muhia crop!
Live Music
The communal stewardship of sorghum crops has historically been infused with art and music. Bands for the event include the music projects of Sorghum growers and volunteers who have tended the crop as well as beloved artists across the South Sound!
