Food Sovereignty

Four Sisters Farm & Farmers Market

This project of NACDI aims to bring the community together to improve healthy food access and celebrate Indigenous heritage and culture. We strive to seed opportunities to engage with fresh and healthy food in various ways and heal land, bodies, and spirits.

Four Sisters Farm

The Four Sisters Urban Farm is centrally located in East Phillips and reclaims land and space in order to encourage growing foods and plant knowledge. We hope to signal to the community that the Indigenous Food Sovereignty approach is rebuilding our food systems.

Four Sisters Farmers Market

The Four Sisters Farmers Market is an Indigenous-focused farmers market centered on providing increased access to affordable, healthy, culturally appropriate local foods within the American Indian Cultural Corridor. Open Thursdays from 11 AM to 3 PM during the growing season.

Urban Growers Collective

The Four Sisters Urban Growers Collective seeks to support urban agriculture, create access to healthy culturally appropriate foods, and build community connections. This will program will host a collective table at our Farmers Market selling produce and flowers from various small scale urban growers.
