Share the Love

As a small business and farm, we know how important every single customer and supporter is to the success of sustainable agriculture & food businesses. We wanted to amplify some of the resources we've found through the work at The Intentionalist and highlight some lovely people we've gotten to meet (virtually) through the Good Food Awards and learn from (virtually) like Dorcas Young of Lesedi Farm at a recent Value-Added Producer Grant workshop put on by the Northwest Agricultural Business Center.

We encourage you to join us to celebrate and support some of these Black-owned food producers, chefs, food justice advocates, restaurants, food sovereignty groups, and farms. This list is by no means exhaustive, so share your favorites with us!

Dr. Jessica B. Harris, a renowned food historian, James Beard Award recipient and author, states in the Museum of Food and Drink current exhibition, African / American: Making the Nation’s Table teaser video, “It’s about time. In fact, it’s past time. But clearly now is the time to celebrate, to savor, and to remember African American food is American food.”
