October is National Farm to School Month! To celebrate, FBEN is offering a 50% discount on Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land through November 30!
This "masterpiece of Afro-indigenous sovereignty sheds light on the richness of Black culture permeating throughout agriculture," writes Karen Washington of Rise & Root Farm, Chester, NY. It's a must in the library of any farm-based educator, and we're so pleased to offer discounted copies through the generosity of Chelsea Green Publishing. Thank you Gretchen, Darrel, Sean, and the rest of the team! (The discount does not affect author, Leah Penniman's royalties.)

"Farming While Black" is such an essential read, and it's fantastic to see FBEN making it more accessible with this generous discount. Leah Penniman’s work at Soul Fire Farm is truly inspiring, bringing vital conversations about Afro-indigenous agricultural practices and food sovereignty to the forefront. I love that there’s also an option to request a free copy if cost is a barrier – it shows a real commitment to education and inclusivity. Kudos to everyone involved in making this happen, and here’s hoping this initiative sparks more learning communities dedicated to sustainable and equitable farming practices! https://templatecalendar.com/blank-calendar/
