Company description

The Southeastern African American Farmers Organic Network (SAAFON) is a Black farmer-led, membership-based organization with the mission to elevate the collective power, prosperity, and visibility of Black farmers committed to practicing and advancing ecologically sustainable practices. We do this by cultivating liberatory approaches to land stewardship and agriculture in the Southeastern United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Caribbean region, and promoting the links between Black farming, Black history, and Black culture.

Since 2006, SAAFON has been an organizing space for farmers, advocating for shifts in the food system, and uplifting Black farmer voices across the sustainable farming landscape and food justice movements. We continue to support our members in these ways – by cultivating intimacy and connection through the spaces we hold, moving resources to the field, and propagating Black agrarian values in our collective land stewardship and farm practices.
