Planting Seeds of Changed
In a world where connection to the land is both a lifeline and a lost art, Gather at the Grove aims to bring people together to explore innovative, actionable ideas in agriculture, rewilding, and sustainability. Inspired by vibrant conversations on platforms like Bluesky and Threads, this newsletter seeks to amplify voices, share wisdom, and provide practical solutions for some of the biggest challenges we face today.
Whether you’re a seasoned farmer, an aspiring homesteader, or someone curious about the intersection of food, land, and community, Gather at the Grove is a space where all are welcome. Together, we’ll dig into what it means to grow, thrive, and build resilient systems for the future.
Why Gather at the Grove?
The grove has long been a symbol of shelter, collaboration, and life. Much like a grove of trees that shares resources through a network of roots, this newsletter is about creating connections—between individuals, ideas, and communities. It’s a place where wisdom is shared, solutions are nurtured, and growth is a collective effort.
