Grateful is an understatement.

We are still feeling the energy from BLACConference 2026 as pictures and videos continue to be shared!

Thank you to everyone who showed up, poured in, and helped make our first annual BLACConference a powerful gathering of purpose and community. From farmers to food advocates to allies your presence, your voices, and your work in NYS matters in our push for food equity and sovereignty.

Has it really already been a week since we gathered at BLACConference connecting with incredible farmers, land stewards, food justice leaders, and Cornell students?

We’re still feeling energized by the wisdom, community, and vision for a more just and resilient food system.

Fort Baptist Farm is a Black owned, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-racial sustainable family farm so diversity isn’t just baked into their crop plans but the community they work with and grow for.

Farmer and Owner Dee Baptist along with her husband and team took us on a journey today as we toured their land and their distribution models to ensure their produce reaches the local community and communities in NYC and even as far as Ohio and what collective partnership and distribution means for a sustained Black food eco system.

Thank you to Fort Baptist Farm, we honor you and your commitment to our people.
