Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word of their freedom. For agriculture, it marks a critical pivot from forced plantation labor to the long, ongoing struggle for land ownership, food sovereignty, and sustainable farming within the Black community. Today I honor my ancestors through land ownership and working the land as they once did.

Land Ownership ❤️ 🖤 💚

BEA recently had a site visit from the USDA. We have some good wide open spaces for growing. The farm is off to a good start this year!

Can't wait until it's time to transplant these blueberry bushes in the ground. If you've had success growing blueberry bushes, share your pics below.

I'm starting the growing season with Lavender. Lavender is reported to grow well in Michigan Zone 5b. It's a deer-resistant perennial that thrives in sandy, acidic soil. Lavender is drought-tolerant, loves full sun, and thrives in well-drained, nutrient-poor soil. Its fragrant foliage and rough texture make it highly deer resistant. Have you been successful in growing Lavender in Michigan? If so, I want to hear from you. Post a pic of your Lavender garden in the comments.
