Plant and Heal Featured in Cuisine Noir — Honoring the Work of Black-Owned Seed Companies

In “Black-Owned Seed Companies Grow More Than Food”, Stephanie writes:

“Black-owned seed companies are cultivating more than plants. They are preserving history, promoting food sovereignty, and inspiring communities to reconnect with the earth.”

This is the foundation of what we do. Every seed we offer — whether a medicinal root, a rare fruit tree, or a beloved heirloom vegetable — carries history, cultural memory, and the power to create food independence. Seeds are more than transactions; they’re tools of resilience.

A Shared Spotlight

This recognition is shared with other dedicated growers featured in the article, each working toward the same mission in their own way:

• Urban Garden Plants – Helping city growers transform limited space into abundant harvests.

• The Hood Garden – Building food sovereignty, education, and access within the heart of the community.

It’s an honor to be named alongside them. This is not just about one business getting attention — it’s about strengthening a network of growers who understand that the fight for food security and cultural preservation is ongoing and shared.

Two Names, One Purpose

You can reach us through PlantandHeal.com or our alternate domain BlackOwnSeeds.com. Both take you to the same place, because our mission doesn’t change depending on the address:

Grow food. Grow medicine. Grow freedom.

From a kitchen windowsill to a full homestead, you deserve access to seeds and knowledge you can trust.

From Soil to Sustenance

Stephanie captured a truth that guides our work:

“Each packet of seeds carries a story — one that can feed families, heal bodies, and connect generations.”

Those stories are the real harvest. They’re why we spend countless hours sourcing, packing, and teaching. And they’re why this recognition matters — because it spreads those stories to more hands and more gardens.
