Our First Hoop House

Last Saturday, we had beautiful warm weather and so many folks showed up to help us get started constructing our first hoop house. We had to organize all the materials and tools and began putting the pieces together. It was a lovely intergenerational (and interspecies) collaboration!

We also cleared out the garden beds to prepare them for winter, and weeded around the blueberries we planted.

We even got to do some seed saving!

Deep gratitude to all the hands and hearts supporting Yesa Farm! We’ll be back at it this Saturday, January 3rd to continue building the hoop house and hope to see you there. Please reach out to juniper@7directionsofservice.com if you’d like to help.

Late Summer Land Day

Thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday for another Land Day at Yesa Farm! It was quite warm compared to some of the cooler weather we’ve been having, but we are soaking up these last days of summer and relishing in the fruits of our labor.

We did a LOT of weeding around the bluberries and fruit trees, and preparing the beds for fall planting. Thank you to Cindy for sharing your delicious apple cake!

Join us for the next Land Day on Saturday, September 20th! It should be a lovely time to honor the solstice and the changing of the seasons.

If you have any questions, please reach out to juniper@7directionsofservice.com

Thank you for supporting YESA Farm!

We are so grateful for all of the hands and hearts that helped pull off a wonderful benefit event at the farm on June 7th! We shared stories and a delicious farm to table meal, and even ended the day with a rainbow.

If you missed it, it’s not too late to bid in the silent auction here!

YESA Farm currently has garden beds and a tower garden, and our plans for the future include expanding it even more! We hope to bring more garden beds, a seed bank, the restoration of a historic community/meeting space, and continue providing programming for youth and elders alike. Building this farm means building Indigenous food sovereignty, reconnecting with traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), and prioritizing the future for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible — the cooks, volunteers, artists, storytellers, and YOU, our community. Let’s keep tending to this vision together.


Let’s keep the connection + momentum going!

The silent auction to support YESA Farm remains open for bidding until June 28.

Return to Your Roots

We are so grateful for everyone who joined us for another Land Day at Yesah Farm! This was a hands-on community gathering focused on food sovereignty, traditional agricultural wisdom, environmental stewardship, and culturally rooted sustainability. There were meaningful discussions on topics such as regenerative farming and Indigenous nutrition. We engaged in storytelling and ceremony, and shared nourishing food together.

A highlight of the day was walking the land and learning about the numerous “weeds” that are actually food and medicine. We transplanted some mullein, mulched our blueberry bushes, and planted some cucumbers and mint plants!

Big thanks to the volunteers from Roots and Wings! It was truly an intergenerational gathering and we can’t wait for for the next one. Stay tuned for future opportunities to connect with us on the Land!

Land Day Love

Thank you to all the volunteers who came out for our last Land Day at Yesah Farm! About 30 folks showed up to help transplant blueberry bushes and fruit trees and get them in the ground before winter. We dug holes with a very serious augur, mulched and watered. We shared a meal and deepened our communal roots, as these plants begin to take their own root in this special place.

This land project is not only just a garden to grow food, but a sanctuary for all. We hope you’ll join us next time as we continue to grow this community of life.
