SOTS-Hopi Tutskwa Permaculture Institute
 
 
 
Hopi Tutskwa's Permaculture Institute is not only providing natural building alternatives through their student internship program but also address food insecurity and economic opportunity by running a food co-op, orchard restoration (including fruit trees) and has created the platform for farmers to bring their crops to sell at the farmers market. The AmeriCorps VISTA supporting these great initiatives will be working to build the operational capacity of the Hopi Tutskwa Tribal Food Sovereignty Initiatives–specifically, the community fruit tree and plant start nursery, demonstration farm, gardens, orchards, Hopi Food Co -op, and the Hopi Farmers Markets.

Member Duties : The VISTA Volunteer on this project will coordinate with farmers to improve supply chain management during the Hopi Farmers Markets. Identify areas in need of improvement. Also, organize workshops for local farmers and conduct outreach concerning value-added agricultural products. Organize a Farmers Market planning committee-training retreat in order to establish better guidelines, registration processes, branding, public advertisement and logistics for the markets. In addition, organize two Farmers Round table discussions to recruit local farmers. That's just part of it. If you have a passion for gardening, food and community you will succeed at this project!
