Our Purpose

The North Star Collective is a youth led project to advance a regenerative agricultural economy based in food & land sovereignty in Washington County Vermont. The collective produces food for people of color led justice efforts around the state as a gesture of solidarity and cooperative social movement building. We believe that youth involvement in a regenerative economy is vital to our survival, and our agency in plotting this economy is a resource for helping other frontline communities access land, skills, nutrition, and natural medicines.
