The Haki Farmers Collective is proud to announce the second annual Sorghum Festival taking place on September 25 – 27 on our collective farm just 20 minutes south of Olympia. Join us for a vibrant weekend filled with music, aerial arts, vendors, kids activities, and sorghum education with a community harvest!
What is Sorghum? Sorghum is an African indigenous cereal grain that holds rich food traditions for Black and Brown communities across the world. The communal hand harvest of sorghum is a time-honored tradition throughout the African continent, where sorghum is a staple grain that predates corn and wheat. While sorghum is native to North Africa, its cultural and culinary impact spans the world, holding a significant place in the foodways of peoples from South East Asia, the Middle East, the American South, the Caribbean, and beyond! Sorghum is high in nutritional value as a milled grain as well as its unique sugar-filled stalks, which we press and boil into sorghum molasses.
This festival will be a celebration of this indigenous African grain that the Haki growers have been learning to cultivate. Growing sorghum gives us the opportunity to keep this legacy alive, while reconnecting the wider public to regenerative grain cultivation that is inherent in traditional African foodways.
