Soul Fire Farm is an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm committed to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. We raise and distribute life-giving food as a means to end 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 communiti

es 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. Our food sovereignty programs reach over 60,000 people each year, including farmer training for Black and Brown growers, reparations and land return initiatives for northeast farmers, food justice workshops for urban youth, home gardens for city-dwellers living under food apartheid, doorstep harvest delivery for food insecure households, and systems and policy education for public decision-makers.

The land remembers what we forget.

Before flags and parades, before names were spoken aloud in defiance or celebration, there was earth—patient, witnessing, holding everything that has ever tried to become free. Pride rises from that same ground. It is not separate from it.

To be q***r is to understand, in some deep and often unspoken way, that identity is not fixed terrain. It shifts, blooms, migrates, and survives in unlikely places. The same is true of land when it is cared for—restored after harm, tended with attention, allowed to breathe again.

We are not outside of nature. We are part of its tangled insistence on connection. My body is not separate from soil, from water, from the forests that persist and the fields that remember old growth beneath new seasons. Interconnectedness is not an idea—it is the condition of being alive.

Pride, then, is not only celebration. It is stewardship. It is learning how to belong without possession. It is showing up for the places that hold us, especially the ones that have been neglected, harmed, or made to forget their own abundance.

In caring for land, we practice care for each other. In restoring ecosystems, we rehearse what it means to restore kinship. And in honoring the full spectrum of human identity, we mirror the biodiversity that makes life resilient in the first place.

This is a kind of pride that does not end at the edge of a banner. It spreads outward—rooted, relational, alive.

We are not just on the land.
We are of it.

Happy Pride Month beloveds 🌈

Medicine Making and Mutual Aid Virtual 3D
Tuesday, July 7 3 PM - 5 PM EDT

Interested in making and sharing herbal medicine?

Join and Ayo .herbalist as we root ourselves in community care and cultural connection in our Medicine Making and Mutual Aid 3D, a virtual offering hosted by Soul Fire Farm.

In honoring our ancestral healing legacies and their connection to liberation, we’ll explore creative ways to make and share accessibly-sourced herbal medicines within our communities.

The 3D series is a multidimensional workshop series designed for B.I.P.O.C. (Black, Indigenous, &/or People of Color) to deepen skills in specific farming and land stewardship practices in a culturally relevant, supportive, and joyful environment.

In this 2-hour workshop, you can expect to:

* explore practical and creative ways to show up for your community and comrades with herbal remedies and information
*learn more about the embodiment of mutualism through an exploration of current and historical models of mutual aid
* collectively brainstorm ideas for herbal distribution and skill-sharing
* strategize around accessibility and sourcing herbal material in a sustainable way
* provide tools and recipes that can support you in practicing hands-on medicine-making skills

What happens when we refuse the gaze that measures us through extraction, conformity, and control? What becomes possible when beauty, gender, and worth are reclaimed through land, memory, and liberation?

On June 2 at 4PM EST, Sovereign returns with “Beyond the Gaze”, a live conversation on Instagram at featuring and land tender Wendy Flores. Together, we’ll explore embodiment, Black futures, and the power of imagining ourselves beyond colonial measure.

Rooted in storytelling, ritual, and Black land futures, Sovereign gathers visionary artists, activists, cultural workers, and land stewards in intimate conversation—creating space for reflection, strategy, and imagination.

The live conversation will later be released as an audio podcast available on all streaming platforms. Hosted by Clara AgborTabi and

We spent the day building more than a project — we built confidence, connection, and practical skills for collective survival.

This Hands-On Introduction to Carpentry brought together changemakers, farmers, food fighters, and community builders to learn the fundamentals of safe tool use, measuring, fastening, layout, and woodworking through a beginner build project.

Because creating a just and sustainable world takes more than ideas. It takes the ability to build the material conditions our communities need to survive and thrive — food, shelter, trade, medicine, and mutual support.

Grateful for everyone who showed up ready to learn, build, and imagine together.

Host your event, meeting, or retreat at Soul Fire Farm through our Campus Sharing Program.

From abolition to climate justice, from q***r liberation to food sovereignty, our struggles for a world of dignity, empowerment, and sustainability are intertwined.

Those of us on the front lines of social and environmental change understand the need to periodically step out of our everyday context to rejuvenate, strategize, and connect.

At Soul Fire Farm, we are pleased to offer our campus and farm as a setting for that work, inspiration, and restoration.

Please complete the form on our website at soulfirefarm.org/campus-sharing/ to request use of our space for your organization’s internal gathering or community event.

16th Annual SOULstice is here! Saturday, June 27-Sunday, June 28 • 5 PM-12 PM

Tickets and details found at soulfirefarm.org/soulstice/

The theme of this year’s gathering, “Our Roots Run Deep,” celebrates our history of survival and overcoming adversity through communal resistance. Together, we will gather to eat, dance, sing, and celebrate our familial roots and the powerful ways we continue to grow. SOULstice will lean deeply into the loving connections we have cultivated over the years with one another, our ancestors, and the Earth. Like the interconnected roots of fungi and trees, we wish to nourish and feed our community with a space for radical joy, reflection, and self love.

Just as our movement is multifaceted, so too are our people. We invite you to dress in clothing that honors your culture, spiritual practice, or whatever makes you feel most represented within our beloved community.
Get ready to dance the night away in a celebration filled with artistry, healing practices, drumming, and soul stirring live performance by Chispa!

Before anything grows, it takes root.
 
At Soul Fire Farm, everything begins below the surface—in the living soil that holds memory, in the ancestral knowledge carried through generations, in the relationships that bind land, people, and purpose.
 
This visual storytelling of our 2025 year reminds us, again and again, that nothing exists in isolation.
