For Black women farmers, tending the land is ancestral and healing

In Upstate New York, a farm tour took place. The event was part of a week-long program focused on farming connections. Participants spent time on the land, planting and harvesting, and also learned about ancestral ties to farming. The program aimed to explore heritage and cultural roots, particularly for certain communities. Farming is seen as a way to pass on traditional knowledge and skills. Further information about the program and its goals can be found through collaboration with local news sources, such as GBH News Rooted in Boston.
