Rosebud Schneider is a manager at Ziibimijwang Farm, owned by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and located near the Mackinac Straits.
Little Traverse Bay Bands created Ziibimijwang Farm in large part to help achieve food sovereignty and expand the use of traditional foods. “You can’t call yourself sovereign unless you grow your own food,” says Joe Van Alstine, Chair of Ziibimijwang's board.
Groundwork has partnered with LTBB in areas of food access and food education.
A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE. We think you believe that too.

People like you have allowed Groundwork to design and implement local-based solutions that have tackled big problems and strengthened our environment, our economy, and our communities for 25 years.
"We are so fortunate to have such a resourceful, competent, and impactful advocate for positive change in Northern Michigan."
— Skip Pruss, former director of the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth
