For over 100 years, Black farmers like James and Bessie Williams have fought to preserve their family land in Baker County, Georgia. Despite systemic discrimination and decades of financial struggles, they continue to nurture the legacy of their ancestors. The Williams family, along with many others in Georgia, are part of a broader movement where cooperatives provide vital support to Black farmers, ensuring they can access resources, grow their operations and thrive in the face of adversity. Recent aid from the USDA’s Inflation Reduction Act has provided much-needed financial relief, but the fight to retain Black-owned farmland continues. In a region where agriculture has deep roots in both history and culture, the collaborative efforts of cooperatives like Feed My Sheep and the Southwest Georgia Project are critical in sustaining and revitalizing this vital legacy. At the heart of this movement is a belief that community, knowledge and support can create a future where Black farmers thrive.
