Common Roots Land Acknowledgement
We live and learn on unceded Abenaki territory. Let us acknowledge that this land Ndakinna was and is to this moment inhabited by the original stewards of this landscape who were overcome by another culture that did not respect or value the richness of spirit and ideas of the Abenaki people. At Common Roots we acknowledge that it is our privilege to grow food on Abenaki ancestral ground taken from the original VT citizens. Our farm and the surrounding South Village neighborhood hold archeological evidence of Abenaki life ways.

Abenaki Gateway Garden
Our Abenaki Gateway Garden celebrates the Abenaki, through growing the traditional foods of the Abenaki diet, planted as they practiced.

We are an Abenaki Land Link partner farm. Everything grown in our Gateway Garden, including seed production are shared to the Abenaki people through the Land Link program.
