Abenaki Foodways in Bethel

Since receiving the Abenaki Foodways Project Toolkit from South Hero Land Trust, educators at Telstar Middle/High School have been partnering with the Mahoosuc Land Trust (MLT) to establish an educational Three Sisters garden at MLT’s Habitat For All garden. What began with the planting of Skunk Beans, Norrigewock Beans, and King Philip Corn alongside some already-established Winter squash, has grown into a larger plan for an integrated, cross-curricular program exploring the many lessons embedded in Three Sisters gardening and cooking.
