SUMMARY:Farm-To-Table Cooking Class: Carrot Pickles with AncestralRebel
DESCRIPTION:Join Heart & Soil Collective and Berkshire Community College for a Farm-To-Table Cooking Class Thursday\, July 9th from 4-6PM! This year in partnership with Berkshire Community College we are launching a series of cooking classes to help connect the community to the land where their food is growing\, provide hands-on tips for cooking with local ingredients and opportunities to enjoy fresh\, local food together. Classes are free but space is limited. Classes are FREE\, but space is limited. Register HERE\n\n\n\nFor this class we will be joined by Chef Lucy Grignon\, co-founder of AncestralRebel where she and Chef Farah Momen are working to transform meals into movements. Lucy Grignon is an enrolled member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Nation and a direct descendant of the Menominee Nation\, Muh-he-con-ne-ok being of the People of the Waters that are never still\, and Menominee being of the Ancient movers.\nHer work centers Indigenous foodways\, cultural revitalization\, community education\, storytelling\, and relational approaches to land stewardship and healing. \nA community-taught chef\, educator\, artist\, photographer\, writer\, and advocate\, Grignon brings an interdisciplinary and deeply place based approach to cultural practice rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems\, collective care\, and\nintergenerational learning. \nHer family owns an Indigenous Homestead called Ancient Roots in Bowler\, Wisconsin\, where they research traditional gardening practices from their Ancestors\ndating back from ages ago to present day. They use a combination of ancestral methods to learn\, preserve\, grow\, seed save\, reconnect\, and share. \nGrignon is the co-creator of AncestralRebel\, a collaborative public humanities and culinary initiative that bridges Indigenous and South Asian food traditions\, histories\, and storytelling practices. Through feasts\, workshops\, talks\, and participatory\ngatherings\, AncestralRebel explores how food\, kinship\, migration\, and shared cultural practice can function as tools for decolonial dialogue\, community-building\, and cultural memory. \nHer approach to food\, education\, and writing\, is inspired by her Ancestors\, long line of lineage\, Community\, and learning from observing her older than human relatives. \n\nLucy will be showing us how to prepare an Indigenous pickling recipe using fresh\, locally grown carrots from Full Well Farm- yum!\n\n\n\n\n\nGrant support through Grassroots Fund\, United Way and Pittsfield Cultural Council/ Mass Cultural Council is making this series possible.
