About Us

Founded in 2021, Blackland Farms LLC is a family-run residential homestead and educational urban farm based in Washington, DC.  Blackland Farms seeks to continue to produce educational content (such as articles, blogs, podcasts, and video media) to entertain and encourage our audiences with our real-time successes and failures growing crops year-round on a micro-sized urban farm on a residential property. 

Ultimately, we aim to radically change the way people participate in their local food system and help to sustainably address disparities in food access within and beyond our communities. 

We have produced and self-published over 100 pieces of media content sharing our lessons learned while growing over 50 types of crops on our homestead on our journey towards self-sufficiency.  Our approach is unique and exciting – for example, we grew five varieties of full-sized watermelons vertically at Blackland Farms in 2022.  

Blackland Farms is run by a socially disadvantaged farmer (Black woman) as defined by the USDA. 

We aim to share our successes and failures growing food to educate and encourage people of all ages in all environments to remember our connection with the soil and sun - and to grow nutritious and delicious food!
