FARMS
BLACK FUTURES FARM
Black Futures Farm is a community farm, staffed by volunteers and two resident farmers. Located on the grounds of the Learning Gardens Lab, Black Futures Farm was created as a place of connection and healing for Black people to grow food and community together. The farm sits on 1.15 acres with 17 different fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, medicinal and cooking herbs.

BLACK LIBERATION GARDEN:
Echo & Wing Farm
BFSC manages this residential site in close-in NE Portland.
Stewarded by Echo & Wing, a Black- and Queer-led land project in PDX, dedicated to growing food rooted in Black and Caribbean cultures, nourishing community, and creating space for learning, ceremony, and joy.
From the land tenders:
Year one is about building relationships and sharing food grown by the community, for the community. We’re focusing on cultural crops that reflect Black American and Caribbean traditional foods that are meaningful, accessible, and nourishing for the neighborhood.
This is a relational project small, intentional, and unapologetically Black and Queer. Follow along as we plant, harvest, and share food together.
First steps: filling the beds, seeding, and dreaming together. Stay tuned for ways to connect and learn 🌻
This work is rooted at Black Liberation Garden (BLG), a community garden space we are honored to tend in partnership with Black Food Sovereignty Coalition (BFSC)
