"Since 2012, Gail Taylor has built healthy soil, provided hundreds of local families with fresh tomatoes and turnips, and fostered community on less than an acre at Three Part Harmony Farm in northeast Washington, D.C. Along the way, she’s blazed a trail and spearheaded legislation to enable other urban farmers in D.C. to follow." Read more about our member at the link below! civileats.com/2024/12/04/a-b…

"New Holly is an affordable housing development whose residents are primarily East African and Southeast Asian immigrants. The New Holly P-Patch was established as a community garden by the city of Seattle in 2002, but until last year, many of its beds had been neglected for years. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers organized by Black Star Farmers, a Seattle-based coalition that encourages the city’s communities of color to grow their own food, nearly all the beds in the P-Patch were now producing vegetables, herbs or native flowers."

This past weekend, as we collectively slowed our bodies, listened for the rustles of leaves and recognized the time for “mid-harvest,” member @BlackWomensBP @restorefwdny hosted WILD! Dinner in the Woods for the Fall Equinox. The night of healing and sisterhood featured a farm-to-table feast bringing the rich flavors of their surroundings to life including wild game, decadent sweets, and handcrafted cocktails sourced from the land. As part of this powerful evening, Restore Forward announced the creation of several sacred spaces on their 300 acres of land in upstate New York. Among the many trailblazing women whose primordial wisdom and contributions were celebrated and honored, we are so grateful to see NBFJA Co-Founder Dara Cooper (@sangodara) honored in the naming of The Dara Cooper Food Sovereignty Farm. What a delicious celebration this was! Please support Restore Forward as they now embark on the launch of a $5 million capital campaign by following the link in their bio #memberspotlight.
