NOW SEEKING: members & regional partners to support land and cultural regeneration in the Upper Midwest . . .
Introducing the Community Supported Culture (CSC) project, centering on regeneration of land and communities of the Upper Midwest through locally & lovingly crafted goods, art, foods and personal stories.
This is based off of the CSA model and created as a way to support regional artists, farmers & makers.
By joining as a member of the CSC, you are directly supporting a continuation of this work and preserving the craft of the land – a portion of the proceeds will be donated to an organization or project in that region that sponsors actively supporting land & culture regeneration. These boxes are intended to shed light on the work of farmers, artists, storytellers & craftspeople as we gather a unique collection from our beloved places.
This project will come out in tandem with our CSA, so you can subscribe to both and receive your shares in the same week!!! Please check out the Living Hearth Community Supported Apothecary on our website if you would like to learn more.
This year's regions of exploration:
River Valley (Twin Cities + MN)
