As a team, we teach people how to grow food and share it with the community. we achieve this goal through hands on workshops and connections with both physical & human resources.

Soil Solidarity operates within the social impact and sustainable agriculture realm. Our core mission is to empower communities to achieve food and housing resilience through direct mutual aid, education, and collaboration. We partner with local community gardens and organizations to facilitate hands-on workshops, cultivate gardens, negotiate housing, and distribute fresh produce to under-served populations.

We currently collaborate with four community gardens: Hood Valley Growers, Munda Wa Anthu, Mamie Towles Elementary, and Groundswell. Through these projects, we host hands-on classes teaching how to build food security through neighborhood-based gardens. Soil Solidarity has produced and donated an average of 700 pounds of fresh food each year to our community partners. We opened Groundswell to develop a co-housing model.

We actively engage in our community, build new opportunities to share food, and lay the groundwork for on-site housing. Our goals for 2024 involve building a co-housing model, creating a curriculum for a bi monthly communication workshop, hiring a garden hand, and negotiating a residential lease for a food processing team.

Our Mission

To actively participate in creating a sustainable and equitable world through direct action centered on food and housing justice.

We work together to grow food, create compost, distribute resources to our community, build affordable housing, and train the next generation of farmers for success.

Our Vision

Shared ownership, sustainable living practices, intersectional direct action, grassroots education, and social justice.

The land on which we gather is the occupied/unceded territory of the Numu (Northern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), and Wašiw (Washo) people. In honor of these communities that are still suffering the effects of genocide, we set aside a % of donations for settler rent. These funds will be distributed to our Indigenous neighbors.
