The Black Farm

Product Information

For the last 10 years, residents in the south Baltimore neighborhood of Cherry Hill who struggled to access affordable food had a reliable place to go. In recent years the barn has been converted into a beautiful four-bed family home as part of a redevelopment scheme where both the original main farmhouse and the barn became two separate properties.

Two older women came in an hour late, after driving from Alabama 10 hours overnight through a storm. They slowly sat down, whispering to other attendees, “Has he gone over the lawsuits yet?” Speaking to me sitting on his farmhouse stoop, a threadbare shirt flapping around his thin arms and his hiking boots leaking their stuffing, Daniel told me he thought the missing object standing between him and being a real farmer was a John Deere tractor. If he only had a tractor like the ones he had seen on TV, he could be in business. John Boyd Jr takes his new Kubota cab tractor for a spin to see how well it prepares his land for planting soybeans. Photograph: Greg Kahn/The Guardian A 15-minute drive from the main property, past a cluster of one-room clapboard cabins falling in on themselves, is Hardage Farm. It used to be worked by slaves. Pools of water dammed off the Roanoke River basin form lakes that look like mirrors arranged carefully around its wild 886 acres. With the mineral-rich soil, yields should be high. Boyd has plans for tobacco, soybeans, recently legalized hemp and a hydroponics system.

However, as PepsiCo indicated they wanted to do business with NBFA members, the company insisted that our growers share personal information through our national data base. A year and a half later, when NBFA growers met all the required elements for a potato delivery contract, the company's executives apparently had lost interest in keeping its part of the bargain. As a shareholder of the PepsiCo Corporation, I am calling on PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ramon Laguarta to meet with NBFA leaders and respond to the hardship and realities his company's latest recent discriminatory act has caused." Boyd's statements follow PepsiCo's announcement that it will no longer use the Aunt Jemima brand, long criticized as a racial stereotype, to sell pancake mix and syrup. Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, 63, therefore, is one of very few persons of colour involved in farming in the UK. In 1997 he bought 30 acres of land in Devon, realising a lifelong dream of owning a farm.

The organization has a right to use the land for two years and has launched a fundraising campaign to buy it. After short spells in the Army and as a chef, Emmanuel-Jones became a producer at the BBC, working with the likes of Gordon Ramsay and James Martin. He then launched a marketing agency, helping turn Loyd Grossman sauces, Kettle Chips and Cobra beer into household names, enabling him to realise his dream.
