In Anishinaabe culture, Miskomino Giizis, or the Raspberry Moon, embodies themes of growth, abundance, and sweetness. Just as raspberries reach their peak in July, it is a time to celebrate the bounty of the earth and to express gratitude for the gifts it provides.
This period reminds us of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of nurturing and caring for the natural world. It is a time for reflection, renewal, and strengthening bonds within the community.
As we observe the Raspberry Moon, let us also reflect on our own growth, both individually and collectively. May we be inspired by the sweetness and abundance of this season to cultivate gratitude, nurture relationships, and strive for harmony with the world around us.
The Farms will be closed for the holiday.... Thursday, July 4...........See you at the fields on Saturday.

Mino Miin Giizis โ Happy Blueberry Moon! ๐ซ
Anishinaabemowin (the Anishinaabe language) is known for its complexity and descriptiveness, and our word for blueberry pie is an excellent example of this. While miin (blueberry) is one of the smallest words, the word for blueberry pie is one of the longest: miinibaashkiminasijiganibiitooyiingwesijiganibakwezhigan. Say that three times fast! This word is made up of many other words and word parts that describe the way blueberry pie is made. Translated literally, it means โblueberry sauce that is put between two pieces of bread that are facing each other.โ This example is not meant to scare you away from Anishinaabemowin, but to help you discover the fascinating ways our Ancestral language works and why it is so important to hold onto. Elders say โAll of our teachings live in our languageโ and this is true because of those descriptive words and the Anishinaabe thought patterns that created them. But how do you pronounce that?! Check out this monthโs Anishinaabemowin Calendar video in which we will include the pronunciation, and practice along for your next best party trick!
***We are currently trying to update our recording software, so videos will not be posted until the end of July.***
Just like the number of letters in blueberry pie, our foods, flowers, and medicines are abundant this time of year. Our word for summer, Niibin, is even related to niibina (a lot; plenty; an abundance). There is an abundance of breezes and sunlight, of grasses and leaves, of mosquitos and flies. And for better or worse, these are all things we deal with when picking those abundant blueberries. Do you have a favorite blueberry-picking spot? Does your family go every year, making those delicious dishes afterward that are just so much tastier with wild berries? Always remember that mino bimaadiziwin (living a good life) requires balance. Responsible harvesting of blueberries or any other food or medicine is important so we can find more next year and so the next generations can find them as well. Leave unripe blueberries on the branches โ these are usually colored white-yellow or white-red instead of that deep blue-purple. Likewise, only pick up to about 3/4 of the blueberries on the bush and leave the rest on the branches. The makwag (bears) and other critters will thank you! When we take care of Shkaakamikwe (Mother Earth) and all she gives us, she will take care of us right back.
Want to speak with Shkaakamikwe? Take on the challenge of learning one new Anishinaabemowin word each day with our Anishinaabemowin Calendar! It is important to not just see these words but to hear them too. Please watch our video, created to help with your pronunciation of these calendar words by scanning the QR code on the calendar or viewing the other post made today on our page. ***We are currently trying to update our recording software, so videos will not be posted until the end of July.***

Free program this Wednesday, July 3 at 6:00 p.m. at the Charlevoix Public Library - Deborah Richmond, historian of the Burt Lake Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, will share the story of the Burt Lake Band and the event in 1900 that stripped the Band of their reservation land known as the Burt Lake Burnout. Embark on a historical journey as Richmond unveils the captivating tale of the Burt Lake Band Burnout. Immerse yourself in the rich narrative as she masterfully recounts the challenges faced by this resilient community as their homes were burned by the local sheriff and a land developer interested in selling their property around the up-and-coming resort area of Burt Lake.
