Join the Seasoned Spoon Café and Trent Vegetable Gardens for a campus farm-to-table tour as part of Disorientation Week at Trent in collaboration with OPIRG Peterborough. The Trent Vegetable Gardens and the Seasoned Spoon Café have been partners for over 10 years, working to create an accessible and sustainable local food system right here on campus. Learn about this cooperatively-run cafe and how it integrates fresh, organic food grown right on campus by students like you.
Tour the café space, off the grid root cellar, rooftop garden and field garden. We'll discuss the work these organizations are doing to build an alternative food system at Trent and all the ways you can get involved through experiential learning, research projects, workshops, volunteering, community meals and more. Find out how you can join the food movement at Trent. Expect to taste some delicious samples and get hands-on in the garden as part of this tour! Meet at the Seasoned Spoon Cafe (103 Champlain College).
**This event is limited to 15 participants.**
Are you ready to get disoriented? Dis-Orientation Week (Dis-O Week) is a week of various events and activities oriented around social justice, environmental justice and anti-oppression put on by Trent groups and members of the community. Dis-O Week is an integral part of keeping the embers of activist culture burning at Trent. Through this week, a new group of students and community members are invited to participate in and join the future of social justice, environmental justice and anti-oppression at Trent and in the community. Join us this year for 6 days of free workshops, giveaways, speakers, films, tours, socials, learning, fun, agitation, and, of course, disorientation.
We hope that these community-oriented events work towards forming culture-changing relationships with each other to build momentum and sustainability within the activist culture at Trent and in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong.
We acknowledge that this event will be taking place on the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishnaabe people, at the gathering place known as Nogojiwanong, or the place at the foot of the rapids. The significance of this place is not lost on us, and we hope that this gathering will inspire solidarity, action and change for years to come.
