"I wanted to have goats, too, but the kids sort of drew the line at that," she laughs. "I'd say the jury is still out on goats."

Winona's Hemp Spring Update: Iskigamizigan - the Maple Syrup making.

I hope you are well at this time, and I wanted to share with you some of our thinking here at Winona’s Hemp and Heritage Farm, and pray that we will all work together for that future that we see

Crisis is opportunity. The Chinese characters for crisis are 危机 “wēijī,” danger and opportunity. That’s now. Take a breath, maybe look at the night sky and see stars clearly. Enjoy this moment and breathe while Mother Earth gets a rest from our closed factories.

Let’s be better when we come out of this cluster of crises. Let’s appreciate each other, localize our economy, get cleaner, healthier, and grow some victory gardens of this millennium. Let’s continue to shut down dirty industries. Indeed, that’s our dream at Winona’s Hemp. Rowen White, the Seed Saver, calls them Resilience Gardens. With allies like the Indigenous Seed Savers, we are starting seeds.

Many of them. Nationally, seed sales are rocketing and people understand that localizing is an essential part to solving these world problems.

Farming brings new life at Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm this Summer!

This week our hemp rope making machine arrived from China, we built the frame for our new “ high tunnel” a Waaginoogin, and we made the press- big time; both the Star Tribune and the cover of Hemp Magazine. We’re proud of our work and wanted to share all of this with you. 

Farming brings new life.

MIIN GIIZIS - BLUEBERRY MOON 2019

Winona’s Hemp and Heritage Farm is growing.  The winter seemed endless for us here in Northern Minnesota, temperatures ranged far, and the storms were brutal.  We are grateful for the warmth of this time.  

Spring is here, summer now, and the crops are in. More are coming.  Cannabis, or hemp is one of many crops we grow here, to produce cordage, and soon textiles.

This year, we are growing fifty female CBD plants, all to offer food, textiles and health products.  We also grow corn, beans, squash, potatoes, tobacco and a host of garden vegetables.  We are interested in growing food for future generations- Indigenous foods, biodiverse foods, and foods in a time of climate change.   Read more
