This past week we’ve been sharing folks from BIPOC communities that are involved in the sustainable food movement on our Facebook page. There are so many amazing people we’d love to share so we’ve also put together a longer list.
Moving forward, we’ll strive to do better and make it a point to share content from BIPOC herbalists, farmers, chefs, gardeners, writers, and activists as part of our regular social media.
Note: in an attempt to organize this post we’ve grouped people/organizations under a few basic categories. However, many of these incredible people are changing their community through more than one medium. Some folks are herbalists, farmers, and writers while others are gardeners, podcasters, and teachers.
