Our Mission

We are a collective of Black, Indigenous, Farmers of Color (BIPOC), centered on racial justice and the development of food and farming systems that honor our communities past, present and future.

 

WHAT WE DO

Our network is made up of over 130 rural, suburban and urban farmers, growers, and land & water protectors in MN and the Midwest. We host social events and political education sessions, coordinate farmer-led projects, gather priorities from farmers in the region for advocacy, and work with allied organizations to fight for a more equitable, sustainable food system and food sovereignty.

We are creating lasting connections, a web of teachers and learners, dedicated to our earth, our food and each other. The creation of MFCC has allowed a fundamental push for an increase in advocacy for farmers of color at the state and federal levels.

We believe that now is the time to make a shift from an extractive and corporate controlled food system to a resilient regional food system, based on racial equity for farmers of color and agroecology.
