Feed’em Freedom Foundation grows out of the work of Mudbone Grown Farm, a Black-owned small farm enterprise in the business of growing and celebrating culturally-specific ancestral foods, value added products, and food hubs for historically absent or barriered communities. At Mudbone Grown our goal has been to always honor our ancestors' wisdom as land stewards, train the next generation of food movement leaders through farming, while building cultural pride that is rooted in food sovereignty. As we approach our 6th year, we realize that to support the continued development of all of our many efforts, we need to create a different kind of organizational structure for our programming, separate from our farming business. Beginning in January 2021, our educational, workforce development, and advocacy programs moved from Mudbone Grown to Feed’em Freedom Foundation to provide both the agricultural business and the critical educational and community programming the containers they need to grow and thrive.
