When I fought to gain 100% ownership of Green Heffa Farms after becoming legally unentangled šŸ‘€, one of the first things I did was rebrand. I transitioned the farm from being a h**p farm to a wellness company that operates its own herb and tea farm that also grows h**p as one of its crops.

I remembered when Grandma told me to never put all my eggs in one basket.

With federal changes on the horizon that could significantly impact how h**p is defined, grown, processed and sold, that distinction matters more than ever. Unless Congress changes course, new provisions scheduled to take effect November 12, 2026 will move h**p from the familiar 0.3% delta-9 THC standard to a broader total THC standard. The law also creates a 0.4 mg total THC limit per container for final h**p-derived cannabinoid products. Those changes could dramatically reshape which h**p crops and products can legally move through the marketplace.

Since the rebrand, h**p has been one plant in ecosystem, not the foundation holding up the entire business. So when regulations shift, as they often do in agriculture, our whole farm isnā€™t dependent on what happens with one crop.

I believe in h**p and its potential. I also know these changes could hit h**p farmers and businesses hard.

For me, it reinforces a lesson Iā€™ve learned over and over:

Diversification isnā€™t just about what you grow. Itā€™s about protecting what youā€™re building.
I donā€™t have a h**p farm. I have an herb farm that grows h**p.

I break down how to build diversified revenue streams so your boutique operation isnā€™t putting all its eggs in one basket in my new bestselling book, The Black Girlā€™s Guide to Building a Boutique Farm.

I heard if you show your melons, you get more attention šŸ‘€

Now that I have your attention, letā€™s talk about the fact that too many folks are comfortable with the idea of farmers being poor.

And to be clear, Iā€™m not talking about corporate agribusiness with massive acreage, deep pockets, big government subsidies and tax breaks, and tons of infrastructure. Iā€™m talking about the independent operations - the boutique,family small and mid-sized operations, and agricultural entrepreneurs who are often expected to treat profitability like itā€™s the plague. Who are supposed to be ā€œsalt of the earthā€ folks who are ok with struggle as long as they can feed the community.
Because somewhere along the way, struggle became part of the farming aesthetic. We romanticize making do, going without, working from sunup to sundown, and barely breaking even. We wear exhaustion like proof that weā€™re ā€œrealā€ farmers.

Miss me with that šŸ’©.

I believe farmers are true entrepreneurs and business owners. We are land stewards, producers, manufacturers, marketers, educators, innovators, employers, and economic drivers. Yet somehow, when farmers talk about wanting to be profitable, build wealth, take vacations, pay themselves well, or create something their children might actually WANT to inherit, folks start getting uncomfortable because it challenges how they see farmers. Because a lot of yā€™all are comfortable with the idea that the person growing your food, fiber and plant medicine are poor. We like in a world that will enrich an Ekane but is fine with poverty for the farmer growing sugar cane.

And thatā€™s just spiritually raggedy.

Thatā€™s why I donā€™t shy away from money conversations. In my book, The Black Girlā€™s Guide to Building a Boutique Farm, I dig deep into revenue generation, raising capital, and profitability. And thereā€™s a reason the GREEN in my farmā€™s name represents both a commitment to the planet and a commitment to profitability.
It takes green to be green.
Building wealth does not mean you care less about the land or your community. Profitability doesnā€™t make you less of a farmer.

I donā€™t want to simply survive farming. I am divinely designed to thrive. Because if the only way agriculture works is when the farmer stays poor, then agriculture ainā€™t working.

Now, be nice and compliment my melons. They are natural šŸ’œ

If you have been following me, you know I have been very clear that I am not a homesteader. I am an herbalist and owner of Green Heffa Farms ā„¢ļø | Herbs & Natural Wellness, a for-profit agricultural business.

However, I very much recognize that farming and homesteading have some meaningful intersections. Such as:
šŸ’œLand stewardship
šŸ’œGrowing and producing
šŸ’œSustainability
šŸ’œValue-added products
šŸ’œDiversified income (cuz baby, I love talking about making green while being green)

And perhaps most importantly, figuring out how the land can help sustain the people who are committed to sustaining it. Thatā€™s part of why Iā€™m excited to be joining the Cultivate Womenā€™s Homestead Retreat once again.

Iā€™ll admit, I was my very real, raw, and authentic self when I first attended. I said these women will probably never invite me back to Missouri šŸ˜‚.

But they do want me back šŸ«¶šŸ¾ Iā€™m coming to this space as a farmer, herbalist, and entrepreneur to share what Iā€™ve learned about building a business rooted in the land, while also learning from women who are approaching land-based living from a different perspective.

There is wisdom in both spaces, and there is even more possibility where they meet.

Iā€™m looking forward to digging into conversations about land, livelihood, sustainability, and creating revenue from what we cultivate. See you in November at Cultivate Homestead Retreat.

There's something else being cultivated out here in the agricultural, entrepreneurial, and herbal spaces, and I think it deserves more conversation.

It's called engagement farming.

It happens when "media" pages take the stories, images, accomplishments, and histories of real farmers, entrepreneurs, and herbalists and package them into highly shareable content designed to do one thing and that is to generate reactions.

And yes, sometimes it's the folks being featured who pay for it.
I get why.

It is HARD to make an impression online when the algorithm seems to have favorites. I've been approached by these services. Pay $199 and we'll make sure content about you gets in front of ###,### of people. I respectfully decline because one, I don't throw my money around like that. And two, I know what happens next.

Your face and your story then get splattered across pages you don't control, presented to audiences you don't know. Sometimes the information is accurate. Often it's exaggerated. Sometimes the context that actually matters disappears completely.

When I teach folks in agriculture, entrepreneurship, and herbalism how to build or expand their platforms, I do not encourage paying services that specialize in this kind of engagement farming because the people who fall for this content often aren't your target audience. They aren't necessarily going to become customers, buy your products or book your services, join your email list, support your farm or your business, attend your events, buy your products, recommend your work. They are not going to invest in what you're building in any meaningful way. And that is because engagement farming reaches whoever the algorithm decides is most likely to REACT.

And you know who benefits most from all those reactions? Usually, the page that posted it. They get the comments. They get the shares. They get the follows. They build the audience. And they collect any coins from monetized content.

Meanwhile, very few people take the extra step to actually find and connect with the farmer, entrepreneur, or herbalist whose story generated all that attention. And some of the people who do find you? Oh baby, they're not exactly coming with good tidings. They arrive with arguments. Misinformation. Racial nonsense. Demands. Requests for a complete stranger to solve a problem in their life, simply because they saw a viral post. They come with spiritual raggedness while somebody else's page is still collecting the engagement.

For those of us building sustainable businesses in agriculture, entrepreneurship, and herbalism, we have to remember this -
you do not need every post to go viral. You do not need thousands of followers just to have thousands of followers. You need your content to reach people who actually want to be in conversation with you.

People who care about the work. People who want to learn. People who will buy, share, support, collaborate, visit, recommend, and come back.

Because 100,000 reactions from people who don't understand the work can create more problems than 1,000 people who genuinely do.

And there's another layer to this that matters deeply to me.
Black farmers, entrepreneurs, and herbalists are not engagement bait. Our farms, our businesses, and our practices are not content mills. Our histories are not raw material for somebody else's algorithm.

Our stories deserve context. They deserve accuracy. And the people behind those stories deserve to benefit from the attention their own work generates.

Virality can disappear tomorrow. Community stays.
So I encourage you to grow your audience organically. Focus on those you are meant to attract not on those who are ready to react. Tell your own story. Build relationships with the people who are actually interested in what you do.

The right ones will find you.

Your turn: What do you think about engagement farming? Do you think it's actually a helpful tool? Let's have a respectful, constructive conversation in the comments.

*If you read all of this, you just might be my kind of people. Feel free to follow provided you aren't spiritually raggedy and if you really want to connect, be sure to follow my farm's page Green Heffa Farms and get on the email list where I really dig deep.
