The Mashpee Wampanoag Community Farm

The Mashpee Wampanoag Community Farm is on tribal reservation land and is stewarded by various tribal members passionate about food sovereignty and preserving traditional foodways.

Danielle Greendeer has been rematriating the King Philip Corn back into Wampanoag soil using traditional fertilizing, mounding, and companion planting methods all while recruiting more Wampanoag women to get involved in planting and understanding first hand this beautiful burgundy ancestor.

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is located in Cape Cod Massachusetts and is a matriarchal society. The planting of the fields, the preparation of the foods, and the ownership and transfer of property was all done by women.
