Our Story · New Haven, CT
We grow fresh food, living knowledge, and community power.
An Afro-Indigenous agricultural enterprise — a farm, a school, a weekly harvest, and a wealth-building engine, run by people you can name.
We say it in three words: Eat the Sun.
Photosynthesis is the only process on earth that turns light into food, and every plant our ancestors carried across an ocean was sunlight they had learned to store. We shorten the distance between that light and a plate in New Haven.
Fresh food you can trust, rooted in a history worth knowing, grown by people you can name.
We never market Black pain more powerfully than Black possibility — a future worth joining, built one weekly harvest at a time.
Farmer D · Founder & Lead Grower
Know the grower. Know the harvest.
More than a decade growing food and growing people in Greater New Haven — 2,000+ young people have learned agriculture, food systems, and enterprise through his work. Every question about your harvest gets an answer from the person whose hands were in the tray.
Praxis is the working philosophy: the growing room is a classroom, the classroom is an enterprise, and the enterprise belongs, increasingly, to the people who work it.
