QUICK FACTS

FOUNDED IN: 1990

GEOGRAPHIC REACH: National

FARMERS OF COLOR NETWORK: Founded to intentionally support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers. Their approach uses a collective model that is BIPOC farmer-centered and -led. They ground their work in relationships because individual farm needs are inextricably tied to the health of the broader farm ecosystem and food systems. The Network seeks to strengthen the economic viability of People of Color who own and/or operate farms, provide technical assistance services to farmers, coordinate farmer-to-farmer connections and community, and uplift the voices of farmers of color to drive policies and narrative change.
