The Third Place and Ummah Enterprises has partnered to explore opportunities to create a whole health community space for in Turner, Maine. The farm at Ummah Enterprises has quickly become a gathering spot for those seeking to reconnect with the land, local food sources, and community. Dawud Ummah, owner of Ummah Enterprises has offered his farm as a rural “third place” to cultivate community connections and healing with food at its core.

This gathering is an intentional effort to build a routine of centering whole health dialogue and discussion in Black community life here in Maine. The goal is to discover how the farm can be activated as a permanent resource for community-building.

We will hear from community members about their ideas for use of the land and its buildings in addition to plans that are already underway. This discussion will be followed by a meal and opportunity to network with others from the community.

You should attend this event if you are Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color AND have an interest in cultivating spaces that reconnect Black people to land-based health, healing, and economic opportunities. You should also join if you just wish to be in community with others.
