This 2026 season, our goal is to build essential infrastructure, provide stipends for educators, activate the land as a sanctuary and create a living model of reparative land stewardship. Hawk Communion is reparations-in-action-investing in dignity, cultural survival, and collective resilience for generations to come.

Hawk Communion is a 39-acre sanctuary and farm in Wisconsin, The stark landscape was offered as an act of reparations 3 years ago. Today we are a Black Collective of urban farmers, builders, activists, artists, healing practitioners and community members from the Twin Cities in Minnesota.

Operating as a cooperative, we are transforming this land into a productive agricultural hub dedicated to community-led healing and food sovereignty. Our mission is to dismantle barriers to nutrition by establishing direct distribution channels that provide fresh, locally grown produce to under-resourced neighborhoods and areas currently classified as food deserts.

Our collective aims to cultivate food forests, save seeds, and strengthen community-controlled food systems into Minneapolis/TwinCities - through regenerative farming, free food distribution programs, and workshops in food sovereignty.

As a part of our larger vision we plan to create a nourishing sanctuary to invite Black and Brown people to come connect and repair nervous systems through rest residencies, healing education, workshops and co-regulation on the land.

A space to play without looking over your shoulder.

Another pillar of our larger vision we seek to mend and remember, while also receiving something priceless, time and space to simply be. This belongs to all of us.

Nourishing and culturally relevant distribution of food is also of the highest priority, as we watch these systems squeeze and oppress, spreading fear.

Black and Brown households are 40% more likely to experience food insecurity than the general public in Twin Cities. With the history of food production and capitalism pushing Black and Brown farmers and consumers out, this food system is well over due.

Our ask of you is simple: Liberate Access to Food. Support This Movement Knowing All liberation Is Interconnected.

You can do this by helping us raise $100,000 for the following:

1. Purchase materials including infrastructure, tools, supplies and equipment

2.Develop and document a successful 'Reparations to Cooperative' sustainable model that can be a tool for others to use as guidance in the future.

3. Paying Farmers, Educators, Consultations

4. Transportation and accessibility needs for Black and Brown community group trips to the land

5. Stipends for a distribution team and core team planning

We are resistance farmers, healing farmers, teaching farmers, farmers who recognize the role of food sovereignty within the larger revolutionary movement for our collective liberation.
