"WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AFRICAN AMERICAN FARMERS ARE VISIBLE."





"You're on the other side now. You're not a worker, but an owner. You work for yourself. There's a pleasure in seeing things grow and when other people enjoy the fruit of your labor.We need to make sure African-American farmers are visible because, for a long time, we've been invisible. We, as a people, have played a tremendous part in agriculture throughout the U.S. If we can get the message across about supporting a variety of farmers, and get more people interested and taking quality food to where it should be, then I've done my job. This is what I was born to do."
