Mission Statement
We support Black farming communities through new models of regenerative farming, cooperative ownership and access to new markets. In conjunction with our supporting organization, Potlikker Capital, we supply reparative capital. In our Journeys Program we have a 2-year course of 50 participants, half white and half BIPOC, on reparative genealogy with the goal of healing the future from white supremacy culture by way of finding our ancestral past and starting the repair from there. It is a hugely transformational learning journey.
About This Cause
Through our collaboration with Cornel University, we provide technical assistance to Black farmers to grow rice in the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method, which is both climate friendly (40% less methane, 50% less water) and more abundant in yield (50-100% more yield) than traditional rice production. The Black farmers in our program also have created a cooperative that owns a rice mill and is the only Black rice mill cooperative in the U.S. Cutting out the middleman, the farmers participate fully in the economic upside. And in our collaboration with Lotus Foods, we have a guaranteed buyer of our specialty rice. The rice is grown with regenerative agriculture no-till, cover crop mulching principles.
