Since starting in 2019, the farm now employs other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a>, provides opportunities for apprenticeship and training and runs land-based, culturally safe and Indigenous-led learning programs for Indigenous people.</p><p>"Tea Creek has also hosted a flood of First Nations visitors, which Mr. Beaton says is particularly exciting and joyful. 'A lot of elders, their first memory is on a First Nations farm that got taken away,' he says. 'There’s huge excitement being on a First Nations farm again that hasn’t existed in a long time.'</p><p>"Mr. Beaton is just one member of a growing cohort of Indigenous farmers: in Toronto, Isaac Crosby is the community partner at the University of Toronto-Scarborough’s community farm, where he maintains the Indigenous food and medicine gardens. Crosby, who is Afro-Ojibwe, says “it’s important to learn from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFarmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFarmers</span></a> about how to take care of the Earth.'
