Welcome to Black Thumb Farm!

BIPOC communities are often the hardest hit when it comes to food access, especially in the San Fernando and greater L.A. areas. As a Black-Farmer-Founded organization our mission is to empower BIPOC youth in the San Fernando Valley and LA area to take back their health and advocate for themselves and their community by equipping them with farming, gardening, and leadership skills. We aim to educate young people on sustainable farming methods that will aid them in the fight for food sovereignty in their communities as well as giving them access to a safe, green space where they can explore their own passions and connection to the land amongst their peers.

 

Black Thumb Farm will always be a space where we imagine a future of food sovereignty and work toward that future through hands-on training and experience, all while providing our communities with access to healthy, quality produce. Food will be grown sustainably and with an eye on long-term soil health so that our communities may have access to healthy soil for generations to come. The young people that join the Black Thumb Farm community will be equipped with the skills, tools, and resources they need in order to combat food injustice and take back their health. We will be intentional and intersectional in our fight against the injustices in our community, knowing that food injustice is just one part in a system created to oppress marginalized communities.
