plant matter 3.6.23

hello friends,

we made it to march, the wednesday of months!

as always, i’ve got some juicy links for you below. i hope you take good care this week. breathe deep into your belly, roll back your shoulders, and remember you were not put on this earth to stress about work emails.

good news from the zumwalt acres team — we were awarded a $10,000 matching grant from the good people fund! if you’d like to support us in bringing about a more regenerative future for the midwest, you can donate here and gpf will match it. *important note: make sure you indicate in the comment box that you are giving to zumwalt acres* more info in this post.
