MISSION
We are a Mississippi Non-Profit Corporation formed by a group of black farmers and land owners who saw a need within the farming community for us to come together as a group to address issues facing minority and socially disadvantaged farmers and rural communities.
Goals:
- Provide agricultural education and farm management to socially disadvantaged and minority farmers
- Assist local farmers and communities in rural development
- Increase/maintain minority land ownership
- Work with local farmers to provide fresh vegetables and produce to our communities, schools and healthcare facilities
- Work with local farmers and communities to establish a farmers market
- Work with area youth groups to promote the agricultural industry within the minority community
- Support local schools in implementing the Future Farmers of America (FFA) program.
