I spent a month with the grassroots nonprofit organization Brave Heart Society as a representative of Seva Foundation, which supported Brave Heart’s food sovereignty activities this year on the Yankton Indian Reservation in South Dakota. “How do you grow this? Is there any special soil or fertilizer involved?” “I still have some of the cucumbers left from last time, they are delicious.” “Are these from the garden? They look way better than the ones sold in the store…” It was the first harvest of the year for the squash, and all kinds of questions and comments flew at us at once: Their eyes glittered as they caught sight of the squash. Many residents knew why we were there, and some came towards our van to talk about how good the cucumbers were from the previous distribution. We drove through the Lake Andes housing development area with a van laden with the harvest. GrantStation includes a database of over 5,000 current grant opportunities and other resources designed for grant professionals.We picked some 200 cucumbers and 30 stunningly beautiful yellow squash from the garden on a hot August day after weeding and watering.
