Soul Fire Farm, cofounded by author, activist, and farmer Leah Penniman, is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system. Extending this work is Leah's widely acclaimed book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land. We hosted Leah for a book conversation, and to discuss how you can help build a food system based on justice, dignity, and abundance for all.
