AAGN a legacy of resilience and growth!
About African American Growers Network:
At African American Growers Network, our roots run deep. With a lineage dating back to the 1800s, our family farm stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of African American farmers. In a time when land ownership for black families was rare, we proudly carry forward the traditions and heritage that have been entrusted to us for generations.
Driven by a passion for community and self-sustainability, we are committed to bridging the gap in the food production space. From planning the harvest to working the land, every step we take is fueled by the desire to nourish our community and preserve our cultural culinary heritage.
Our mission extends beyond providing fresh produce. We strive to address food insecurity by offering fresh food to those in need, while also equipping our workers with transferable skills that empower them for life.
What sets us apart:
Century Farm Legacy: With over a century of history, our farm is more than just land – it's a living legacy that we plan to pass down for generations to come.
Urban Farming Pioneers: As first-generation urban farmers, we maximize small plots of land to serve the city of Charlotte and beyond, demonstrating that you can do a lot with a little.
Community Hub: Our farm isn't just about growing food – it's a vibrant community hub where local farmers come together to sell their produce and share knowledge.
Experience the rich tapestry of African American farming heritage with African American Growers Network. Join us as we cultivate not just crops, but a future of abundance and opportunity for all.
