What is The Unshackled Alchemy Land Project?
The Unshackled Alchemy Land Project (UALP) is committed to community-centered solutions to the emergent and urgent needs facing our communities and humanity today. Our work centers free access to nutrient dense culturally relevant foods, skill building, and regenerative agroecological workshops focused on themes such as food production, soil health, and Afro-Indigenous permaculture principles. The intention of this work is to equip our communities and address critical gaps that create barriers to thriving.
The UA Community Subsistence Farm (UA CSF) is the cornerstone of UALP. Through perennial & annual food growing, UA CSF seeks to fill critical gaps in food access within the Hudson Valley and beyond. Food grown will be distributed to the local community at no cost through local food fridges, food donations to local CSAs and food sovereignty projects, and free produce stands.
UALP embodies collective care through intentional non-hierarchical community collaboration, mutual aid, and affirming healing spaces. We remain committed to community, curiosity, openness and authenticity so we may learn, collaborate, create, heal and play together.
We do not have to wait for others to choose right relationship with humanity and to reclaim the liberation that is our birthright.
UALP is grounded in the following liberatory collective commitments:
UALP will support other farmers/land stewards through:
- Providing respite space and unlearning/learning space
- Skill-sharing
- Resource sharing
Through this land project, we envision what a sustainable, regenerative, aligned life can look and feel like on community-oriented terms.
