Keely Curliss (She/Her, They/Them)

Member & Secretary, Board of Directors

Keely is a queer indigenous farmer, youth worker and community organizer who lives in Boston, MA. She is a member of the Nipmuc Nation and has spent the last 12 seasons growing and cultivating food in spaces of all sizes, from her small second floor back porch to 31 acre vegetable farms. Keely is Farm Manager for Movement Ground Farm in RI.

When not tending to plants and land, Keely can be found organizing as a part of the leadership team of Rooted in Community, a national network of youth, food and environmental justice organizations. Keely dreams of a world post capitalism and the exploitation of mother earth where folks honor the land and express gratitude for the abundance. Keely is soon to leave her non-profit job in hopes of reimagining a way to pay the bills while making space to deepen her connection to community, organizing and growing food.
