“Our ancestors carried farming wisdom across oceans and generations — and I pulled those threads together in my new book. This is more than a guide, it’s our story,” said Dr. Stroud.]
Highlights of the Expanded Edition include:
– A 50-state traveler’s guide to Black-owned agricultural spaces and public foraging land.
– Resources for homesteaders, growers, and supporters of Black-owned agriculture.
– Guidance on securing a farm number, applying for grants, and building networks.
– Reflections on homesteading while Black, exploring resilience, history, and land-based traditions.
First published to connect readers with Black farmers and agricultural communities, The Green Green Book also addresses the complex history of Black land stewardship in the United States. This new edition expands that vision with additional maps, tools, and first-hand accounts designed to support both new and experienced growers.
