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! ☮️
