Attention Purchase Partners: Why Buy Black Farm Food?

Our Growers COHORT has membership in all 50 states and are trained in all things best practices, and intensive growing methods to provide the best produce for local markets. We are always onboarding restaurants, farmers markets, churches, purchasing partners and hosting events that put the COHORT in the forefront of their local markets. 

How does BLACKAG INC program benefit? By strengthening Black Farms nationwide! That's how.

The BLACKAG COHORT of 2025 is bringing Black Farmers together across the nation with education, opportunity and farmhood.

Be a part of the COHORT in your state with expert training, self paced programs, and expansion opportunities for your farm establishment at any size operation. From zero to thriving and everywhere in between is what this year's motto is. 

Local foods and products in America are in high demand, and the nation needs more farmers to meet the consumption needs of its people. We especially encourage urban and small farms to participate. Socially disadvantaged farmers often face barriers to beginning and maintaining a farm. Access to the key elements that will lead to a productive, sustainable establishment with viable market access is what the BLACKAG Growers COHORT will provide.
