FRESH New London

Empowering Youth, Connecting Community, and Growing Food to dismantle systemic oppression and build food sovereignty.

FRESH acknowledges our gardens grow on occupied
Pequot territory. Indigenous growing techniques have and
continue to contribute to the health of our people and planet.
To learn more about Indigenous culture and history in Southeastern Connecticut, visit the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, the Tantaquidgeon Museum
(of the Mohegan Tribe), and learn about the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.
Food Justice Corner
Food justice promotes a food system that is inclusive, community-led and participatory, without the exploitation of people, land, or the environment. It identifies and acts to remove the significant structural inequities (ie racism and other oppressions) that exist within our food and economic systems. Food justice activists seek to establish healthy, resilient communities with equitable access to nourishing and culturally appropriate food. –Portland/Multnomah Food Policy Council
