Liberation Tools is a cooperative subset of the 501c3 nonprofit Soul & Soil Project based in the unceded Tsalagi (Cherokee) territory of Western North Carolina.
Our mission is to build a collective that sustainably and skillfully crafts quality tools used for growing food, and freely distributes them to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. To support these efforts, we sell these tools for twice the cost of producing one, thereby allowing people with accumulated wealth to access high quality tools by also paying for an identical tool to be sent to a BIPOC land steward.

Agroforestry and food forests are terms describing a diverse planting of edible plants that attempts to mimic the ecosystems and patterns found in nature for a variety of social and environmental benefits. If you don’t know much about agroforestry, we have great news — we are starting our second agroforestry project at the SAHC Community Farm.
Along with Contour Lines Corp we will be leading the planting of a 3-acre diversified food forest which will feature a number of fruit trees and native support trees planted on contour in a system of berms and swales. This is a unique demonstration project on conservation land, which will be managed in perpetuity so that we can all learn about the numerous benefits and beauty of perennial agroforestry and food forest systems.
Folks will receive a solid introduction on how to plan and plant a food forest agroforestry site that includes hundreds of fruit and support trees on a berm and swale contour system. Some species we will be planting include Black Locust, Willow, Cottonwood, Elderberry, Mulberry, Persimmon, Apple, Pear, Blueberry, Fig and Peaches.
Join us, rain or shine, for all or any part of the day to learn, observe, and take part in planting if you choose. Please bring a water bottle, gloves, raincoat/work clothes if you’re planting; tools will be provided.
Lunch will be provided midway between our morning classroom portion, and then the rest of the day will be hands-on work.
Pre-registration is requested. Suggested donation $20; no one turned away for inability to pay.
SAHC received a $6,000 Catalyzing Agroforestry Grant to support this project, and nonprofit organization Contour Lines Corp. (contourlines.org) is donating plant material, design and expertise for hands-on workshops to help execute the silvopasture project on the SAHC Community Farm. The Catalyzing Agroforestry Grants Program is an initiative funded by the Appalachian Beginning Forest Farming Coalition (ABFFC) and Edwards Mother Earth Foundation (EMEF) that is managed by Virginia Tech University in partnership with Rural Action, Appalachian Sustainable Development, The Yew Mountain Center, North Carolina State University.

Leap Day Puppet Cabaret – Thursday, February 29, 2024
Location: The Argot Room, 717 Haywood Rd, Asheville
An evening like no other! Enjoy a fabulous 3-course dinner (with choices) by Chef Ryan Kline then be entertained by the creative imaginations of Keith Shubert and Lyon Hill!
Keith (aka Toybox) is a multiple award winning clown, puppeteer, toymaker, and event producer. Among his many awards are Fan Favorite and Best Performance at The National Puppetry Festival, Funding by The Jim Henson Foundation, and an UNIMA Citation for Excellence in The Art of Puppetry, the highest honor given in the field. Toybox’s performance is an inexplicable blend of clowning, storytelling, stand up comedy and puppetry.
Special guest Lyon Forrest Hill is the artistic director of The Columbia Marionette theater and is widely known in the puppetry community as an innovator. A lifelong purveyor of puppetry, comics, animation, and toys; Lyon synthesizes his interests into a unique type of performance that is heavy on atmosphere and detailed imagery. At the heart of his work, though, are hopeful and earnest ideas. Lyon will be performing a selection of short works developed for mature audiences that feature a variety of styles; including marionettes, shadows, and some inventive new techniques. He enjoys sharing the stage with his good friend, ToyBox. While their work is very different, they are in many ways two sides to the same coin.
Reservations for this event are PRE-PAID and can be made online at Resy.com or by calling us at 828-785-1761.
