About Us

The Black Farmers Collective is a mutual aid network of Black-led, regenerative farms and gardens in partnership with other BIPOC farmers, organizers, and leaders creating a food system for healthier communities. Volunteers are welcome at our open Farm Days, Tuesday and Saturday 10 am-3 pm each week at Yes Farm from February through December.

Come prepared to get muddy and bring work gloves, mask, and some water to stay hydrated. We have extra gloves and masks as needed. Folks of all ages encouraged to come by to work or say hello. No registration required, we will have a QR code to use for checking in/out volunteers. Volunteer opportunities at Brown Egg Gardens (Africatown Grow) and Small Axe Farm are currently TBD.
