Whether you're growing tomatoes in clay soil or flipping philodendrons on Etsy—getting a USDA farm number makes it real in the government’s eyes.”

When the system stumbles, we don’t panic—we plant.
Whether you’re growing collards in a raised bed or herbs on a windowsill, gardening isn’t just about food. It’s about reclaiming power, honoring our ancestors, and showing up for our communities—one seed at a time.

George Washington Carver wasn't just about peanuts; he was about people.  He saw the potential for agriculture to be a tool for liberation, a pathway to economic independence for Black farmers.  His work wasn't confined to the lab; it extended to the fields, where he shared his knowledge freely, empowering communities to take control of their destinies.  Carver understood that true freedom was rooted in the land, and he dedicated his life to cultivating not just crops but also hope and resilience.
