Its Always Deeper Annual Dinner
Last year (2023), Dominos sponsored our 1st Annual Deeply Rooted Dinner to help us celebrate local foods as chef Mercedies (Savor Red), Alexandrea Monet (Mag Creates), and Harriette Brown (Chef Bee of Sisters on a Roll Mobile Cafe) prepared meats from Mshko'ode Farms with Ziibimiigwang value added products & produce along side Rescue MI Nature naturally grown herbs & produce. Each food provider received a $250 honorarium for preparing the shared community dinner enjoyed by over 30 attendees.
This year (2024), we will be hosting it at our home farm in October 2024 to bring full circle the work have been doing over the years.

Mama's Moments: Fish Preservation
In this class (October 2024), we showed 3 mothers & their children how to prepare lake trout in three different ways--pressure canning, vacuum sealing + freezing, & smoking. After preserving the fish, we course enjoyed fresh trout of our own baked with Sweet Lorraine's BBQ sauce & Ziibimijwang maple syrup. Gratitude to Mshko'ode for providing the fish and being a consistent supporter of our work!
