Food as Medicine
Food as Medicine explores the deep connection between what we grow, what we eat, and how we heal.
At Blackwood, we believe that our food’s nutritional density begins with having healthy soil. As a 33 acre regenerative farm, we are committed to bringing together like minded people creating an integrative lifestyle seeking natural wellness solutions. This series offers discussions and opportunities to be with the earth, each other and ourselves as we dive deeper into the concept of Food as Medicine.
These events are perfect for anyone curious about how foods can boost health and fight disease as well as professionals who work in medicine. All levels of knowledge are welcome. We each have a relationship to food, let's explore more together.
Our Food as Medicine events happen in the Houston area, and culminate in the Conference on our farm, Blackwood Educational Land Institute, located in Hempstead, TX.
The Food as Medicine Conference is a container to connect with like minded people creating an integrative lifestyle seeking natural wellness solutions. Join us for discussions and opportunities to be with the earth, each other and ourselves as we dive deeper into the concept of Food as Medicine.
