Soul Fire Farm - Ending Racism and Injustice in the Food System
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- Soul Fire Farm is committed to ending racism and injustice in the food system. We raise and distribute life-giving food and act in solidarity with people marginalized by food apartheid. With deep reverence for the land and wisdom of our ancestors, we work to reclaim our collective right to belong to the earth and to have agency in the food system. We bring diverse communities together on this healing land to share skills on sustainable agriculture, natural building, spiritual activism, health and environmental justice. We are training the next generation of activist-farmers and strengthening the movements for food sovereignty and community self-determination.
We can grow food in our yards and sell or share to our communities. Don't wait for someone to do it for us.
Exactly. Food sovereignty is something that is so attainable, we just need the skills and resources.

Very good at least the kids in large cities will get a chance to see exactly how our farm runs even without livestock but at least vegetables how it’s grown the soil everything boils down to the soil good healthy soil means good healthy vegetables.
So beautiful. Long live the mission.

East Texas. Although, land is cheaper out west for obvious reasons, but farming exist out that way. Let me know, I would love to show you my farm and ranch👩🏾🌾🤠
Beautiful

I am looking to buy land in Georgia and would love to pick your brain on what things to look for when considering a piece of land.
I'm located in GA on 8 acres. Deciding what piece of land to buy largely depends on what you plan to do with the land. So I would start there. Will you be market gardening, homesteading or hobby farming? What livestock do you want to raise, if any? Do you want to live off grid, or are you wanting a combination of solar/wind/hydro along with a grid tied system? Will you work from home or will you have to commute to the city for work? Lots of things to consider.
@@leadingbyxample all those things
Chickens and goats
Homesteading with a small market garden and services to schools restaurants and Farmers market
Guys, band together as a group and take those skills and invest together in Africa adding another market.
In addition, grow Medical Marijuana /Cannabis /Hemp and CBD products.
Diversify and work with African American dispensers.
Bottom line? Most of us don't know what we're ingesting unless we raise our own crops and livestock and fowl for meat.
how many acres is that farm on?
WOW! So sorry for delaying to respond to this comment for so long. The land itself is 80 acres, but we farm on roughly 3 acres with half of that for our annuals and perennials and the other half a brand new apple orchard we just planted. Our total human impact at this time is on about 8 acres of land.
@@SoulFireFarm at least u replied. One year later..lol. thanks though
@@BibleSamurai Haha thank you for your understanding!
I appreciate what you guys are doing. Yet I'm not totally sold on the idea that the food system is "racist" and "white people are bad". It's more of an economic issue than a skin color issue..
11:42 Lol. Admits she is spoiled well fed American.
You would really benefit from watching this: m.ruclips.net/video/r5TPTxllBjI/видео.html
Leah eloquently explains how there has been a steady campaign of race-based terror to prevent BIPOC from owning land and growing their own food. That is on top of the “economic” issues as you would call them of share cropping agreements, lower wages, and general debt peonage.
The student in the video is referring more to the fact that if you don’t grow your own food - you have always been handed what you need to survive. Either by your parents or in exchange for money.
Racism is not as simple as “white people are bad.” All white Americans, including myself, have benefitted economically from the racist regime that is the USA, even if you don’t condone it or encourage it. One can strive to be anti-racist by actively combatting racism, and redistributing some of your money. To do nothing, much less deny that there is a “skin color issue,” is complicity.
1. Is she really black?
2. How is it helpful to love black people 'more' than others if you are against racial discrimination
3. If your farm didn't have an army of free labour, I highly doubt it would be economically viable
1. Yes.
2. Are you really making a reverse racism argument?
3. Do you know what CSA stands for? I have volunteered on organic farms and of course there is room for exploitation there, but I learned a TON and got to travel basically for free. Meanwhile, sponsoring a visa for a migrant laborer means you can exploit and abuse the hell out of people and they have no legal recourse. This 'loop hole' was used to recreate chattel slavery in Florida as recently as 1998.
If you are actually interested in their business model (because apparently feeding their community and centering racial and social justice isn't enough for you) they have a wonderful book called Farming While Black. Leah also has countless speeches on youtube that go into more detail. This is a 13 minute intro video, not a business plan.
@@trevorstannus2604I realize these comments are pretty old, but I'll add my thoughts anyway.
Regarding point 2, I think it really something that should be better addressed by Leah or your answering a question with a trite question. I know many people who share her understanding and feelings for connecting to and honoring the earth spiritually and growing food in harmony with that find it hard to understand some of her statements which seem to have racist(discriminatory, prejudiced) overtones. I don't know if it's indicative of who she is at a deep level, maybe not, rather she's just personally connecting to her particular audience/tribe that seems to exclude white people and opens most for black people. There's nothing wrong with focusing, but that can still be done in a way that presents in a more open, inclusive and connecting context. I think part of the idea of spirituality within and as manifested in nature is one of connection and unity of the diverse individual parts. This species and that and every animate being and inanimate element is connected. It just seems to be that she has either some reason or lacking causing a withholding and segregation. For many of us who aspire and share many of her values, we're inclined to see all individuals in the same light based on who they are not their color or family origins. We all need to really work together, it's one world.
And she seems to imply that white people have some magical healthy diet of fresh foods and vegetables that's unavailable to black folks/POC. In reality most people in America make a *choice* to eat and drink junk crap and few people are eating fresh or getting food from their local farmer or CSA. I don't believe it's a racial issue but a value issue. So to me her presentation is largely great, education, experiences, a big step forward, but as it's contaminated with a biased racist narrative that part will hopefully be left behind at some point. While it's not extremely antagonistic, why preserve any level of hypocrisy and racism, stop sowing and watering those seeds. At the same time she's reintroducing her special interest group to the very important ways and values of healthy food and spiritual tradition and I find that hopeful and inspiring. I laud all their hard work and want for their greater success.
