i know the world is crazy scary right now, and there are so many different worthy causes all pulling for your attention. but please hear me out: Moonpence Farm needs to pay off their land in full by summer or they will lose it. Sunday (the owner/founder) is an incredible person who has devoted so much time and energy to provide care to others and to the Earth. if they cannot pay for their land, they will lose their home (along with their partner/caregiver and their pets).

their farm is also home to Serenus Herbs, a shop that sells herbs and medicines on a sliding scale, and the Serenus Herb Bank, a mutual aid project that provides free care packages to Black and Indigenous folks. i personally rely heavily on their pain salve, as having a topical treatment for my chronic wrist pain allows me to avoid ruining my stomach with nsaids (not to mention it feels soooo luxurious). without the farm, so many people that have benefited from their products will be left without access to lifesaving medicine. as they say frequently, and as so many spoonies know, pain relief is suicide prevention.

did you know that 98% of usamerican farmland is white-owned? securing land ownership for a Black and Indigenous farmer is a real, tangible way to support the land back movement. they don't even have a proper kitchen or bathroom on the land, because they put most of their time and energy back into caring for the land itself. and their dedication shows—their packaging is 100% compostable and recyclable, right down to the labels.

if you have any available funds, even just a few $, please consider contributing to their land campaign. even if you cant give rn, they have a list of other ways to support them in the campiagn info: https://givebutter.com/moonpencefarm?ref=moonpence.farm

you can also buy an item off their wishlist: https://throne.com/serenusherbs (this also includes items to help sunday recover from their recent surgery!)

if you have instagram, you can check out their story highlight (@ moonpencefarm) to see several art fundraisers: https://www.instagram.com/moonpencefarm/ (unfortunately most of the artists are only selling via instagram)

wolfberry apothecary is also selling some sick land back merch as a fundraiser: https://www.wolfberryapothecary.com/shop/mutual-aid

everything looks so so bleak rn (especially if you live in usamerica) but i promise you that we can create the world we want to live in. the future we want is already growing, and this is where it starts: with land in indigenous hands, with reparations paid, with disabled people loved and cared for beyond the bare minimum, and enjoying products that don't create trash or fund billionaires. if you want a part in creating that future, supporting this farm is a great first step.
