Jen Salinetti
We cannot wait to welcome our second Earthseed Speaker to BCC. Jen Salinetti, co-founder of Woven Roots Farm in Tyringham, will be sharing stories of seeds and the people that steward them. Our Skillshare will bring a group of students and employees to Woven Roots Farm to learn how to save our own seeds and about the significance of seeds for people living in the diaspora.
Earthseed Speaker, Jen Salinetti (she/they), is a co-founder, queer farmer, and a collaborative director at Woven Roots Farm. Jen is a transracial adoptee from the highlands of Colombia. She has chosen a path of deep relationship with the land to reconnect with ancestral ties that were forcibly removed from her. It is through this relationship that Jen has come to understand her responsibility for tending to community. As a farmer and community organizer for over 20 years, Jen has offered workshops and courses that develop relationships to land, build skills of resilience, promote Indigenous growing practices, and amplify pathways to social justice. Jen is a Massachusetts Environmental Justice Council member. She is also a soil health and beginning farmer consultant.
