Black Farmers x Black Youth

We are humbled to announce that we have been awarded a "Food and Agriculture Service Learning Program (FASLP)" grant from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture to "address community-identified needs, including opportunities for socially disadvantaged African American youth to participate in on-farm experiential learning and related off-farm agricultural activities; gardening; nutrition." We are excited to work with several Black farmers in our region who will "host and provide on-farm educational experiences for youth." We are excited to be partnering with Africulture, Carter Farms, Woodbox Farm, Nisani Farm, and BLISS Meadows for this project, and look forward to engaging Black homeschooling youth in the DMV.
