Supporting food justice in Roanoke.
As many of you know, last year following the murder of George Floyd we made the choice to be more socially active as a farm, taking more public stands about what we believe in and giving 20% of our market sales to individuals and organizations working to promote racial justice.
Time to put our money where our mouth is.
We’re raising wages on the farm.
This is LONG overdue. For years we have been justifying our mediocre pay scale by succumbing to three very common tropes about farming: (1) farmers never make any money (2) it’s a labor of love (3) we can’t afford to do any better.
