The Black Farmers Experience Fundraiser Campaign
June is Black Farmers Experience month! This is an effort to build awareness of the talented and diverse Black farmers in our region, share the flavors and culture of our community, and most importantly raise critical funds for capacity building.
The Black Farmers Marketplace
We envision a self-reliant regional food system where as much of the food as possible to meet the food needs of the region’s population, particularly highly-distressed Black communities, is produced, processed, distributed and purchased at multiple scales and levels within the region, resulting in maximum resilience, minimal importation and significant economic and social return for Black farmers and the communities they serve.
The Black Farmer Marketplace is a year-round online farmers' market, cooperatively owned and operated. We offer locally grown and produced agricultural-based products, including fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs, teas, microgreens, elixirs, honey, baked goods, grains, dairy, eggs, meat, cut flowers, body care products, and more.
