About Us
Wood Spoon Farm
Wood Spoon Farm is a practice-based intangeable heritage, fiber and food sovereignty project
focused on resource re-distribution and ecological futuricity resesarch in collaboration with extant farms, innovators, and the earth.
Our mission is to challenge existing structures of power through practice-based research in circular business-, whole homestead- farm and agroecology systems in order to be able to model community-sized food and fiber sovereignty. Wood Spoon Farm uses a conceptual model of partnering with existing farms and places to explore, build and develop methodologies towards sustainable practices and equitable exchange.
Our values are:
Embodied Patching: Practicing craft as resistance/refusal and radical homemaking.
Knowledge Quilting: Committing increased representation in multidisciplinary, intergenerational, agroecology practice-based research projects illuminating solutions within “the art of farming,” ethical interdependence, and food and fiber systems.
Visible Mending: reversing extractive and colonial logics by implementing regenerative models and by testing diverse perspectives.
Reinforced stitching: finding traditional, intangeable heritage lessons to build on, with modern tools and strategies.
Who are we
An intangible research collaborative
Wood Spoon Farm is collaborative founded to model, and eventually become, fully circular, no kill- animal sanctuary and subsistence food- and fiber sovereignty homesteading methodologies. We are studying the circular oportunity inherent in flax production, wool production, permaculture and other ways of being with nature.
Wood Spoon Farm is currently an intingable site, partnering with land-based practitioners to produce research material. Our mission is to have our own farm research headquarter by by 2030.
We partner with growers, community garden stewards, and farmers to cultivate material for research through artist residencies, feasibility studies, scientific inquiry and collaborative participatory practices.
