Rooted in nourishment, freedom, and reciprocity

est. 2019

The Harriet Tubman Freedom Farm is rooted in the values of nourishment, freedom, and reciprocity. Healing Black Southerners’ relationship to land in the South through agriculture and education, the farm is a space for community. The lives of plants, animals, and people matter here. Practicing reciprocity for the land and the community is our attempt to grow toward sovereignty. The Harriet Tubman Freedom Farm visions a just society where people have access to what they need to live as they see fit. A people who can feed themselves, are a people who can lead themselves.

Meet the farmer

Dallas is excited to share in the joy and beauty of agriculture while acknowledging the history of abuse of the land and people through theft, enslavement, racism, and environmental destruction. Land stewardship is direct action toward getting free. Dallas looks forward to teaching, learning, and feeding and eating with you!

The Harriet Tubman Freedom Farm is named for the work and legacy of two incredible freedom fighters. Harriet Tubman and Fannie Lou Hammer are honored with each planting and every harvest.

Uplifting Our Matriarchs

Dream it.

Tubman had so much faith in her liberation that she denied the laws and systems that told her she was nothing more than property. Escaping from bondage to return numerous times to free her family and other Black people who imagined better lives, illustrates only a fraction of Harriet Tubman's work, courage, and determination.

Build it.

Fannie Lou Hamer radicalized her small rural Mississippi community through voter organizing and cooperative economics. The Freedom Farm cooperative in Sunflower County improved the lives of hundreds of poor Black and white people.
