Amisk Farm

Amisk Farm is an Indigenous owned and operated farm and community space located on East Moberly Indian Reserve 169 (Saulteau First Nations). We are devoted to working with Indigenous foods and medicines from across Turtle Island and beyond. We have 2 vegetable growing fields, a pasture, and food forest. We also hold space for reciprocal knowledge sharing, traditional harvesting, and food skills education. The primary goal of Amisk Farm is to provide fresh, healthy, and culturally appropriate food to the local community. The farm is off-grid and located in Zone 3b along the shores of the beautiful Moberly River.

Company History

Amisk Farm was envisioned by long time Indigenous food sovereignty educator and biologist, Julian Napoleon. Napoleon is band member at East Moberly and has Dane-zaa, Cree, and Ukrainian ancestry. The land has been worked by Napoleon’s family for generations. Amisk Farm is now dedicated to increasing soil fertility and biodiversity at the farm with a focus on growing Indigenous crops and livestock. 2 new fields were cleared in Spring 2021 allowing for scaling-up to growing on a community level. There are over 100 food and medicine species growing on the site. In 2021, Amisk Farm was a recipient of the Growing Change Award offered by JM-Fortier’s company Growers and Co.
