Statewide Black & Brown Farmer-Led Cooperative

About us

We are a Black and Brown farmer-led cooperative dedicated to food sovereignty, land justice, and community empowerment. Rooted in the understanding that access to land and fresh, culturally relevant food is a fundamental right, we work to reclaim our agricultural traditions and build a more just and sustainable food system.

Our mission is to provide fresh, locally grown produce through our Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, ensuring that our communities have direct access to nutritious, high-quality food grown by and for them. By prioritizing cooperative economics, regenerative farming, and ancestral growing practices, we not only feed our communities but also cultivate resilience, economic independence, and deeper connections to the land.

Our statewide CSA is powered by farmers growing across Connecticut, including Danbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury, and Hartford.
