Thank you to Cross Creek High School for welcoming Black Farm Street to participate in your Career Day event, “Passport to Your Future – College & Career Fair 2026.”

We had the opportunity to connect with so many students, staff and organizations who are curious about agriculture and farming, and those conversations are always meaningful. We played a game and chose a sprout to clip to you. It was joyful to see the many sprouts walking around the gym!

Spending time with and alongside the FFA students was especially rewarding. Engaging with young people who are already exploring leadership in agriculture reminds us why representation and mentorship in this field matter.

We’re grateful to be part of the journey as students explore their future pathways and special shoutout to the amazing Luckie Charmz for all that you do to make this happen.

We had a great time introducing Black Farm Street Inc to our young leaders at Lucy C. Laney High School today. THANK YOU!

It is so important to show representation in the agricultural field to ensure that young people can see themselves as growers, educators, innovators, and leaders within our food systems.

When students understand that agriculture is more than farming; that it includes science, business, environmental stewardship, and community development, new possibilities open up.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to plant those seeds today.

Best questions from students today was, What does a potato seed look like? And can you grow potatoes from a seed?

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Allen Homes Community Garden Groundbreaking Ceremony.

Your presence made the moment meaningful.

We are deeply grateful to the residents of Allen Homes, our dedicated volunteers, and our collaborative partners; Augusta Locally Grown, the Greater Augusta Arts Council, and the City of Augusta for standing with us as we marked the beginning of this new chapter.

We also extend sincere appreciation to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office for their support and presence, as well as the city dignitaries and community leaders who attended to commemorate this milestone.

And thank you to our local news media partners for covering this moment and helping share the story of community-led progress throughout Augusta.

Yesterday was a reminder that when community, leadership, and partnership come together, meaningful change begins.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for believing in this work. And thank you for helping us break ground… Together.

Tomorrow we officially break ground at Allen Homes.

A moment that represents listening, care, and the start of something being built with the community.

This space has already been shaped by resident voices, volunteer energy, and collaboration, and we’re excited to take the next step together. If you’re planning to join us, come ready to get your hands a little dirty and be part of something meaningful.

We’ll see you tomorrow as we begin this next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who shared their time during Canvas Day at Allen Homes. Despite a rainy afternoon and a limited outreach window from 4–6 PM, 28 residents living in the 150-unit community welcomed us into meaningful conversations that helped move this work forward.

Canvas Day was a collaborative effort by Black Farm Street, Augusta Locally Grown, the Greater Augusta Arts Council, and the City of Augusta Housing Authority, all working together to listen, learn, and plan alongside the community.

We’re especially grateful to the 13 volunteers who came out in the rain to help canvas the neighborhood and connect with residents. Through these conversations, residents shared interest in actively participating in the building and care of their community garden, signaling strong community investment in shaping this space together. Tomatoes were the most requested crop 🍅

Families also took time to share information about the children who live on the property so future projects, including the Little Library, reflect the real needs of the community. In total, 65 children were reported across the property, spanning all age groups—from infants to older teens. This includes 4 children ages 0–2, 10 ages 3–5, 17 ages 6–8, 15 ages 9–12, 10 ages 13–15, and 9 ages 16–18.

We recognize that many residents were not home during canvassing hours, and this information represents an initial snapshot rather than a final count. The insights shared will directly guide next steps across garden planning, youth-focused programming, and age-appropriate book requests for the Little Library.

We’re grateful for the trust shown, the collaboration across partners, and the voices shared. This work continues because it is built with the community.

Before the ground is broken, we’re taking time to connect with the community.
On February 4, we’ll be canvassing Allen Homes to share information about the community garden and invite residents into the process. This garden is being built with intention, care, and resident input at the center. You are welcome to join us 🌱
More to come!

We’re excited to share that something special is starting at Allen Homes.

On February 11, 2026 (9:00AM), Black Farm Street Inc. will officially kick off work on the Allen Homes Community Garden — a project shaped by resident voices and built for community connection.

This garden is about more than growing food. It’s about creating a shared space for neighbors to gather, learn, play, and grow together. Planned updates include raised garden beds, irrigation, shaded areas for education and gatherings, public art, and improvements to the basketball court, all guided by input from Allen Homes residents.

Before work begins, we’ll be out in the neighborhood on February 4, connecting door-to-door to share what’s coming, answer questions, and invite residents to be part of the process.

We’re grateful to be doing this work alongside Augusta Locally Grown, the City of Augusta Housing & Community Development Department, and the Greater Augusta Arts Council. More details — including a larger community celebration — are coming this spring.

We’re honored to share that Black Farm Street has been awarded a grant from the Community Foundation for the CSRA.

The Community Foundation for the CSRA plays a vital role in strengthening our region by investing in organizations that serve, educate, and uplift local communities. Their support helps ensure that resources stay rooted right here in the CSRA where they can have the greatest impact.

This grant will support our continued work in community agriculture, education, and food access, allowing us to deepen programs and expand opportunities for engagement.

Sub-note:
As we move forward, we’re preparing for a series of upcoming events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities connected to this support. Stay tuned… there’s more to come.

We’re grateful for the trust and partnership, and excited for what’s ahead.
