GENERAL OPERATIONS - COMMUNITY FOOD SYSTEM FOR INDIGENOUS YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES

AS ONE OF OUR INITIATIVES, WE OPERATE A FOOD SYSTEMS INSTITUTE. WITH THE GOAL TO INCREASE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE REGENERATIVE LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS CREATING. THE REGENERATIVE POULTRY PROGRAM WORKS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION FOR ASPIRING FAMILIES AND PRODUCERS AND TO PROVIDE HANDS-ON TRAINING FOR FIRST TIME POULTRY PRODUCERS. WE ARE STARTING WITH POULTRY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE POULTRY IS A STARTING POINT FOR FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AS IT CREATES ACCESS TO THE LARGER FOOD SYSTEM, WE ARE BUILDING. PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM RANGE FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO ELDERS. THEY GO THROUGH AN 8 WEEK COURSE HOSTED BY OUR TEAM IN WHICH THEY LEARN ABOUT LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, POULTRY PRODUCTION, AND MOBILE POULTRY PROCESSING UNITS. THEN AT THE END OF THE COURSE THEY OPERATE THEIR OWN SQUARE FOOT CHICKEN SYSTEM. EACH PARTICIPANT (AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS) ARE INVOLVED WITH RAISING THEIR OWN FOOD AND SAW THE PROCESS FROM BEGINNING TO END.
