Meet the Makers: Nick Canino of Rhythm Seed Farm

Join us for the next Meet the Makers, a monthly gathering designed to connect local leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are shaping the future of our food, economic, and community systems.

This month, we are honored to feature Nick Canino, regenerative land-tender, systems thinker, and founder of Rhythm Seed Farm—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit urban farm committed to seed keeping, land restoration, and community education.

Nick has spent over a decade transforming urban landscapes into thriving food gardens, working closely with Black, Brown, and Indigenous farmers, food banks, and community farms across Portland. Through Rhythm Seed Farm, he stewards millions of locally adapted seeds and teaches how abandoned lots can be turned into lush, productive gardens in a single season. Nick’s work embodies revolutionary change, intergenerational knowledge sharing, and a deep commitment to restoring sovereignty through seeds and soil.

This gathering is more than a conversation—it's a chance to plant new ideas, share resources, and spark collaboration among farmers, artists, healers, builders, and visionaries.

🌿 What to Expect:

An inspiring conversation with Nick Canino about seed keeping, urban farming, and regenerative land practices.
Opportunities to connect and collaborate with local changemakers.
Light snacks and drinks to fuel our conversations and connections.

Meet the Makers is part of the Community Village Network—a platform reconnecting people to land, housing, farming, business development, and ecosystem restoration, building resilient local economies through cooperation and shared vision.

Come be part of this living movement—one gathering, one seed, one conversation at a time.
