How you gon’ say that word as a joke, though? Theefuck @jeanmartinfortier?. It don’t make no sense. That’s the one thing you have to know not to do. I hate that immense disappointment is the risk I’m taking when I patronize giants. #JoelSalatin #JMFortier #MakeItMakeSense

Growing the food was is the easy part. I had challenges with access to equipment and finding labor for large projects. There also weren’t many established farmers readily available to run ideas by. Of course, these people surround me now that I have had some visibility, but what if my project had not gone viral-ish? It would’ve been even harder. That’s why I started Bunkhouse Acres Foundation. I want to help other underrepresented farmers get growing by making it easier for them to access equipment, labor, and experienced growers for mentoring and consultation.

I'm still going through the battle to keep living at my home of 8 years (and farming), with a hearing coming up on Monday. I owe many of you an email and it will come soon but for now, please keep remembering me, amplifying my voice, and sending words of encouragement.

Thank you.

All pics except the last are of the site where the nightshade high tunnel is. Regardless of the course her life takes, Shellie-Ann did that shit. Nuff respect to the Angels of Bread on National Farmers’ Day.

Tiny pumpkins look good on me, don’t they? I swear Sister Peggy must have breathed a word over these sweet potatoes because they weren’t supposed to do this well outside in the cold and wet of western Washington, especially since the slips arrived late. Swipe to see what one plant produced, and I haven’t dug it all up yet. #murasaki @johnnys_seeds

Let me know when you find the picture that doesn’t contain pepper. #capsicum

I have posted a similar sentiment before and I will continue to post it whenever anyone implies that chipping in $5 (or $5,000) to my fundraiser is reparations:

I am not the most marginalized black person, immigrant, woman, or farmer, and I try to ensure that my presence here doesn’t make those who can’t reach 16,000 people invisible.

Individuals contributing to my farm goals is a wonderful show of support, but it isn’t #reparations. I see reparations as an engagement with a system. Supporting individuals on individual terms is an essential part of caring for humanity, a central part of liberation. Still, we cannot forget the long-standing grouse that black people and other oppressed groups have with the state.

Millions are going about their lives with no platform (or desire) to disclose the traumas and violence that they endure at the hand of their governments, and governments from which they seek #asylum. Remember them. In sum, please give me all the money but don’t forget about the larger systems that create and sustain material deprivation.

I was a vendor at the @aberdeensundaymarket this week. It was my first time selling at a market so a little intimidating. I dislike handling cash so my anxiety was on 11/10 for much of the day but I enjoyed the shoppers’ curiosity about the beautiful food I grew with my hands. Meeting so many of you who have been following me here was a highlight of the day. See you next week? #farmersmarket #aberdeenwa #blackfarmer #faceless #maskup

Ten fyah side… I successfully grew Scotch Bonnet peppers to maturity. This hot pepper that I grew up with is closely related to habaneros but is significantly hotter with a more fruity aroma. Excuse me while I savor the harvest. 🖤 💛 💚 #Jamaica #ScotchBonnet #BlackFarmers #PNWFarmer #HotPepper #Habanero #tenfyahside #TenFireSide #hotgirlsummer

Peter from Chestnut Hill Boers came out on Monday to help with planting for fall harvest and grading garlic, and took all of these photos. 💕 He also brought me some delicious Adriatic figs which are currently simmering with dried orange slices and honey for my special fig-walnut jam. @chestnuthillboers
