For our 2023 festival, held in Indiana, we brought a film crew to visit farmers and hear their stories, including Denise and DeAnthony, along with John Jamerson and Norman Greer. Check out this video to see how they’re working together as three generations to steward the land, carrying forward a remarkable legacy.
About the Breaking Bread Series
The Highlander Center defines “popular education” as an opportunity to learn from each other’s shared lived experiences to build collective knowledge. Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen will feature stories that uplifts the shared history of food and farming; organizing and resistance that’s got us to where we are now. We pair that history with work that folks are doing presently, that will inform the future we want for each other as it relates to farming and agriculture, food, culture and rural communities. This storytelling and making our narratives public is a key and critical part of community organizing. Please join us!
