Greetings Community 👋🏾

⭐️ Join us for a hands-on cooking workshop Saturday February 1st at the Union Cultural Center on 803 S. King St. Seattle led by Leika Suzumura to Demystified Dairy!

👨🏽‍🍳 This workshop is designed to clarify the misinformation and confusion surrounding dairy and whether it’s good for you or not. We will touch on the truth about lactose intolerance among the BIPOC community, why dairy has been marketed so heavily as a health food, and ways to swap out dairy and still enjoy your food! Whether you are lactose intolerant, suffer from eczema or digestive issues when you eat dairy products, or interested in a more plant based diet, this workshop will give you inspiration to eat what’s right for you!

🌱 We will be cooking together, taste testing together, holding space together, and cultivating community!

💻 To sign up, please go to the link in bio which will lead you to our linktree. You will see a form titled “Dairy Demystified Workshop Sign Up”. We will be taking the first 10 participants so grab a friend and sign up today!

📋 Those who sign up and do not make the first 10 will be put on a waitlist.

Hey everyone 🤠!

The BFC team has been dreaming up some exciting things as we step into the new year and we are excited to share 🌠!

Black Farmers Collective operates an incubator farm at our Small Axe farm site in Woodinville which supports new Black farmers with access to land, infrastructure, technical assistance, and training 🚜👩🏿‍🌾⛲️.

One of our main barriers we currently face in supporting our farmers, is a lack of access to walk-in cooler space to store and cool our farmers’ produce before sale/distribution. An on-site cooler would drastically increase our food safety practices and the amount, diversity, and quality of produce that BFC and our farmers can produce for our community.

We are seeking community financial support in order to reach our goal. Check out the slides to see how to donate! We appreciate the continuous support from the community as we grow as an organization & as farmers! ☮️
