Happy Juneteenth everyone! Power and life and freedom to black people everywhere. From Alemany grape guru & dear friend @thetwoeightyproject: Today I had the opportunity to spend some much needed time with the land. I made the conscious decision to celebrate with the farm rather than run from it because this was a choice my ancestors didn't have. Working along great friends I was able to express my feelings of being a black farmer on this day and how proud it makes me. We sp...oke about many ways we can fight to end oppression and create safe spaces for people of color to have nourishment. I also shared my quest and love for land while giving some history on the farmland my family has lost through the years in Louisiana. Today was a great day and we have big plans for next year! These pictures are my family members from Louisiana, these are the amazing souls that fought for me and allowed me to be a farmer today. @ Alemany Farm See more
