How we're making a difference
Black Joy Farm
Black Joy Oregon is currently working on a project focused on food sovereignty, called Black Joy Farm. We have a community garden located in Keizer, OR. The farm is maintained by Black Joy Oregon members and our wonderful volunteers! All of our produce goes out to community, primarily BIPOC households! For our first season ever in 2024 we produced 1,500lbs of food for our community.
Our goal for the 2025 season was to double that and that is exactly what we did!! We closed 2025 out with a total of just over 3,000lbs.
Sign Up to volunteer with us or donate to help support our efforts!
We are currently finishing up our Urban Gardening program as a branch of our Black Joy Farm project, where we are providing indoor gardening systems to BIPOC households.
Stay tuned for our next project!
"Black Joy Oregon is a Black-led nonprofit rooted in community, resilience and JOY! We provide mentorship and leadership opportunities for women of color while cultivating spaces where all marginalized communities can feel seen, supported and celebrated."
