In episode two of our minisode miniseries, we sit down with the White Mountain Apache tribe’s Clayton Harvey, Greenhouse Manager at Ndee Bikiyaa (The People’s Farm).
Ndee Bikiyaa received $125,000 for the Community Food Pipeline Project, funded in partnership by Vitalyst and the NARBHA Institute.
In just eight years, the farm has grown from a 10’ x 20’ plot to a six-acre community asset, and now Ndee Bikiyaa is poised to create transformational food policy change. Specifically, farm leadership is pursuing USDA regulation changes in order to produce, package, and sell traditionally prepared, hunted, and foraged foods that aren’t currently allowed – restoring the tribe’s rich cultural heritage and creating opportunities for health and well-being.
Starting with how the farm was (re)born in 2010, Clayton fills this episode with heartfelt stories not just of Ndee Bikiyaa, but of the true meaning behind the quest to honor and restore a rich, wise, and robust food culture.
Stay tuned for two more episodes coming soon!
