An offering of Local Food Hub, a Charlottesville-based nonprofit committed to advancing equitable access to fresh food, independent farms, and fairness in farming.
The Virginia Black Farmer Directory is an effort to support and empower Black farmers in Virginia. It is an online database that presents comprehensive biographies, locations, and sales information. Black farmers have faced centuries of discrimination. This has resulted in Black farmers owning less than 2% of farmland in the US, while still facing higher barriers than white farmers.
