Dear BBG Community,


Last week, a federal program supporting farmers and land access was cut nationwide — and it included the AgriCULTURE work we were doing at Black By God.


This work was already happening.


Stories in motion. People being paid. Communities paying attention.

And now — it’s gone.


At Black By God, we’ve been building a team of Story Farmers—telling the stories of Black farmers, land, and food across Appalachia.


Because if we don’t tell these stories, they won’t get told.


We’re not stopping. But we need you with us.

Support Black By God

Every bit helps us keep this work growing!


Thank you for being part of this work,


The Black By God Team
