🌻This past Saturday,
Our second Farm Visit took us to Revolution of the Heart Farm, where farm lead Sunny walked us through their land and their work. Sunny shared how their capacity for the farm is tied to their full-time work — and how finding that balance is actually what keeps their love for farming alive. These in person conversations bring us closer in a good way. To learn more about revolución del corazón check them out here ☝🏽💚

🌻Saturday evening, the Breakin’ Bread folx Mosaic PDX gathered at Black Futures Farm for their final session: Acceptance & Celebration. They had a beautiful evening on the land, and we love to see it! ✨

🌻And of course — Black Sunday was filled with community again. Sharing time, connection, and fresh produce in late summer really is a blessing to partake in these days.

Have a wonderful week folx and we thank you revolución del corazón and Mosaic PDX for your work and beauty making in our community.

🌾 Cover Crop as Medicine: Milky Oats for Soil & Health 🌾

✨September 2nd, 10am-12pm at Black Futures Farm.
✨we have space for about 3 more people!

There’s a window — just a few days — when oat seed heads turn milky, full of a different kind of potential. Before they’re cover crop tilled back into the earth, we’re catching that moment for something else entirely.

Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring milky oat (Avena sativa) from both sides: as a soil-building cover crop and as a beloved herbal ally for the nervous system.

We’ll start with a short intro to cover cropping — why farmers plant oats, what they do for the soil, and how this “farm to apothecary” harvest window works. Then we get our hands in it: blending frozen, pre-harvested milky oats into an alcohol-based tincture, together, on the spot. You’ll leave with your own jar steeping — ready to strain in about 6 weeks.

No herbalism experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to get a little messy. 🫙

What you’ll do:
🌱 Learn about cover crops from the Black Futures team
🌾 Meet the oat plant in the field
🧘🏾 Guided plant meditation with milky oats tea
🫙 Blend + jar your own tincture to take home

Thanks Bruce Poinsette!

In the face of systemic inequity and worsening poverty statistics that disproportionately affect Black Oregonians, Black farms are on the front lines of feeding and empowering Black communities.

a beautiful experience the last two Sundays on the land. Morrison of Ancestral Flowers facilitated part 2 of her 2 part series: nature journaling & art following the paper-making training last Sunday.

folks gathered and bound their dried paper pages into a notebook with twine and bamboo.

this experience was grounding, nourishing and fun! Thank you Morrison Joy for leading us through this creative practice!

this project is supported by Metro, our farm and all who contributed to making it happen.

After this training we rolled into Black Sunday where farmers set up our vegetable offerings to Black community for the day!

it’s lovely out here.
Peace
