Introduction

The Supporting Healthy Black Agriculture Workgroup is where Black families reconnect with the land, reclaim our agricultural heritage, and build pathways to health, healing, and economic independence. For too long, systemic racism and generational trauma have separated us from the soil that sustained our ancestors. We’re here to change that, together.

Through hands-on training, culturally rooted teachings, and healing spaces, we dismantle the myths and barriers that have kept Black people from agricultural careers, food sovereignty, and land ownership. This is our birthright. This is our power.

Why This Will Transform You and Your Family

Our connection to the land is not just about food—it’s about survival, culture, and liberation. By learning to grow our own food and build agricultural businesses, we address health disparities, generate income, and create spaces for healing across generations.

This workgroup will empower you to:

• Feed your family with fresh, chemical-free food grown by your own hands.
  
  
• Build economic stability through agricultural entrepreneurship.
  
  
• Reconnect to your heritage while honoring the Black farming experience.
  
  
• Strengthen family bonds through collective work, learning, and joy.

Addressing Real Challenges

We don’t shy away from the truth:

• Land Access – We help participants explore pathways to ownership and stewardship.
• Culturally Relevant Training – No cookie-cutter approach; this program is built for Black communities, by Black communities.
• Healing from PTSS – We address Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome and the generational disconnection from land through education, discussion, and collective healing.

Perfect for Families

Whether you’re a single adult, a grandparent raising grandkids, or a multi-generational household—this program has a place for you. You’ll work alongside your children, grandchildren, and neighbors to plant seeds that will grow into food, opportunities, and stronger communities.
