Part III: The Future of Black Agriculture and Foodways

September 30, 2021 | 6PM

“Inspired by Chef Yusuf Bin-Rella of TradeRoots Farms, Pasture and Plenty will be celebrating the work of Black Chefs and Scholars in a three-part cooking demonstration and seminar series that explores the historical Black settlement of the Cheyenne Valley and Black foodways in Wisconsin. Each installment of the series will investigate a different thread of this fascinating history, and offer our guests the opportunity to pick up a picnic meal in Madison and take a self-guided tour of the Cheyenne Valley Heritage Area. Learn, tour and eat!

Part 3 will explore the efforts to preserve and share the history of the Cheyenne Valley's multiracial settlement and hopes for the future evolution of this history with the Enduring Families Project; share a cooking demo and a Caribbean dinner from Chef Kingsley Gobourne, of Artemis Provisions & Cheese; dig into the importance of preserving Black land, foodways, and farming with Adrian Lipscombe, of the 40 Acres and a Mule Project; and also discuss Black, White, and Native identity in Wisconsin Farm Country with Dr. Jennifer Stinson, Associate Professor of History at Saginaw Valley State University.”
