We the Land!

is rooted in NEFOC’s vision to advance land and food sovereignty in the Northeast region through permanent & secure land tenure for PoC farmers and land stewards in a sacred manner that honors our ancestors’ dreams ~ for regenerative farming, human habitat, ceremony, native species ecosystem restoration and cultural preservation.

is an invitation to our community to join us for a weekend of knowledge exchange, grassroots organizing, celebration, and ceremony and marks the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust’s first in-person gathering since 2019 and centers the primary intention of our community-led network:

To Break

the isolation of being farmers of color in the Northeast by building relationships of mutual respect and joy, the foundation of community care, and movement work.

To Envision

enact, and share ways to be in reciprocity with Land, in the process healing generational trauma and redefining the meaning of “farmer” and our care for the land and each other.

To Coordinate

our policy demands and catalyze reparations for Black-Indigenous-POC farmers and land stewards.

To Share

skills, resources, and time with one another in building collaborative projects and initiatives.
