It's been an interesting week in Burke County, Georgia, to say the least. We were among the many organizations that experienced A/C theft in our area. Four of our air conditioning units were gutted on our campus. Thanks to the Burke County Sheriff's Office - Georgia for their support and effort to find and stop these criminals. Radical renovations always experience ruthless reactions--😠

Reflecting on an amazing site visit with the National Black Food & Justice Alliance interns. We had an engaging time on the farm. I am super proud of the work that our organic farm collective leader, Khan Hasson, is doing on our organic farm.
