Sasha Moghadam

About

Sasha aims to build healthier landscapes, healthier individuals, and healthier communities through seed and plant work and to rewrite the way we connect to our environments, ourselves, and each other. One way we aim to do this is through connection: connection to the land and connection to our loved ones; connection to our foods, our cultures, and the communities in which we come from. For many of us, our histories, our culture and our stories have been lost. I say this because I know my story has been lost for a long time and I have been finding it again through the seeds and the plants. As producers our primary focus is on growing Iranian heritage crops and seed for the wholesale market. This is one aspect of our farm. The other core piece of our project is in helping to facilitate the healing and empowerment of individuals and communities through culturally relevant seed and plant work. Sasha is working to create an apprenticeship program that offers an immersive, farm based, healing and empowerment curriculum rooted in agriCULTURE. saenaseedproject.org
