Our Values

Our practices are guided by a commitment to grow food within a regenerative and sustainable agricultural system; one that respects the environment, the spirit of the land and it’s inhabitants, and honors the cultural practices embodied by Afro-ecological, smallholder farmers in The Gambia. In this way, we grow in a manner that‘s rooted in reciprocity and food sovereignty. 

In this way, we grow in a manner that values biodiversity, preserves and/or improves the health of the soil, it’s life giving microbes and fungi, that employs water conservation techniques on the land and, where possible, employs agro-forestry principles and practices. 

In a world more and more challenged by climate crisis and food insecurity, particularly for BIPOC people in the U.S. and worldwide, we grow in a manner that mitigates environmental degradation, free of chemical fertilizers and pesticide, while enhancing the long-term agricultural productivity of nutritious crops, foraged edibles and flowers in service of community.
