- In this episode we chat with Christa Barfield, founder of FarmerJawn, a Philadelphia based farm focused on reintroducing farming into the lifestyles of underserved urban communities. Farmerjawn is the largest black-woman owned regenerative organic produce farm in the United States and hosts a variety of educational programs and experiences that bring healthy food and nature back into the lives of urban people. In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss the stigmatized relationship that many black & brown people have with the land and how to fix it, the power of amplifying one's voice to spread a message, how we can make healthy local food more accessible and convenient for urban people, and how agriculture is equally a part of all our lineages.

Awesome to see another philly area farmer! And amazing to see someone actively bringing the black community back into food production, healing generational trauma, and steering agriculture in a positive direction. Even that aside, the goal to just involve our local communities in our work and make an impact in their life through food is very inspiring for young farmers who are trying to usher in this next iteration of community oriented agriculture.
Excellent episode. Lol. I'm from Jersey so I understood the name immediately. Love it. I will certainly be reaching out to Christa in the near future.
So much truth in this short vid, love it!!
Man, she is awesome !! Aggressive entrepreneur love the story. I do as well operate a small farm. I myself am trying to find something to minimize food waste and a value-added product myself very well said. Tho the chickens do love all the extra lol
I know who my award winning farmer is ✨️#PhillyJawn. Great message, especially the awareness of how being outside has been traumatic for Black and Brown people. 👏🏽👏🏽
excellent chat, probably my favorite so far. inspiring!
I want to use my skill as a farmer to upgrade the quality of Philly food scene. How can I help?
1:07:50- I would love to see this drilled down on/ expanded upon. I agree that we could be doing much more within the community garden model to make it more productive for the community, besides being a hobby for the retirement community
This was very insightful.
I’m a farmer market farming in Philly. I don’t think you can change the perspective of the upper class, consumer from my experience. They’re too stubborn and stuck up to change their life because their consumption pleasures them way too much. It’s not stopping me from trying but every Sunday when I come home from Market, I feel very discouraged by how unaware everyone is.
💚
I’d love to start farming just wish I had the money and land to do it 😢😊
