Black Community Food Center

FEED’EM FREEDOM FOUNDATION (FFF) ignites and centers Black agriculturists as the owners and movement leaders of our own land stewardship, regional food security, and economic prosperity systems.

Food security and food sovereignty are at the foundation of our work. That is why the Black Community Food Center will be critical infrastructure in the BIPOC food economy, activating solutions and connections that will lead to the growth of BIPOC-led farms and businesses.

The Center will provide community access to a food pantry, commercial kitchen space, and greenhouse. This will be a place where community-based organizations can host breastfeeding groups, garden education classes, and cooking classes. The campus also includes a central gathering hub, cold and dry food storage areas, a hydroponic freight farm, and an anaerobic digester. The Center is a place of innovation, where we will cultivate community wealth as we connect small producers to institutional markets, build cooperative growing efforts, and create agricultural pipelines for youth to grow greater food sovereignty for our community. It will be a full loop system driver for agriculture, incubating the next generation of food system leaders.
