Summary

Ujima Jam Sessions (subscribepage.com) are farmer-focused engagements that are virtual or in-person and focused on: sharing information (guest speakers), sharing resources, learning together, and helping each other out on our farms (think all-hands work days, with refreshments and/or on-farm demos from experts).

Launched in 2022 as peer learning circles to better meet the needs of Black and other underserved beginning farmers in Future Harvest's Beginning Farmer Training Program, Ujima Jams are now a farmer-led initiative supported by www.ourspaceworld.org.

Join us at Florencia Farm as we learn about Afro-Caribbean crops and get our hands in the soil!

Florencia Farm is a 5-acre family farm in Upper Marlboro, Prince George’s County Maryland that grows specialty crops of Afro-Caribbean heritage and aims to be s good steward of the soil. The farm serves refugees, asylum seekers and immigrant communities and grows food with natural resources in mind, using the fewest possible artificial inputs such pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The farm supplies the local community with African vegetables and hopes to launch a CSA program soon.
