Past Events

Natasha’s keynotes are filled with candid, heartwarming and inspirational stories from farms on Navajo land to farms of the Gullah Islands. Natasha encourages her audiences to dig deep into the stories she shares and the important messages they carry for the food movement. Her talks are relevant not only to other farmers and food activists but speak to anyone who eats. You will come to the table with new understanding and appreciation for the intersections between race, food, culture, history and today’s broken food system.
