🌱 Aloti Farm is an organic permaculture farm run by a tiny Black FLINTA team near Berlin and nurtured by an ever growing community of generous helpers.
They are just starting out and they grow vegetables and herbs on 1 hectare of land, which they plan to make accessible thanks to a solidarity-based price scale.
The farm is open to all who share their values but their farming practice and political work centers BIPoC, queer, migrant and disabled folks 🌱
The team will show us around the farm, tell us about their work, guide us in some practical farm work and let us taste some of their juicy produce 🥗
