Abenaki Seeds Project Survey Results & Impact Report

In 2024, the Abenaki Seeds Project celebrated its 4th year in the Kearsarge Area, and the impact continues to deepen with each year.

This collaborative community project has roots in Vermont, where Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Band of Coosuck Abenaki Nation enlisted local farms and community gardens to grow heritage Abenaki seeds and donate the harvest back to the tribe.

Things got going here in the Kearsarge area of central New Hampshire thanks to the Abenaki Trails Project’s vision for replicating the efforts in Vermont and partnering with us here at the Kearsarge Food Hub and others in the community to make it happen.

This year we reviewed the project through a survey and interview process with participants and are excited to share the results from 2024 and this feedback process with you. The feedback that was provided to us this year will help improve the project next year and beyond!
