Ujamaa Plant Sale April 27, 2025
The Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance (UCFA) is excited to invite our community in DC, Maryland, and Virginia to a special nursery plant sale right here at our farm in Upper Marlboro, MD!
GROWING BIPOC SEED GROWERS
The Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance (UCFA) is a program of the 501c3 non-profit STEAM ONWARD. The mission of UCFA is to increase the number of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) growers of culturally meaningful heirloom seeds. UCFA recognizes the need for increased diversity in agriculture and farming and specially increased diversity in the $15 billion dollar U.S. seed industry.
UCFA works to provide more opportunities and support for growers from historically oppressed and marginalized communities. To this end the Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance is working to bridge the gap between prospective growers and seed companies.
Heirloom seed farming can be a lucrative business opportunity for farmers, gardeners, and growers as demand far outstrips supply. Farmers and gardeners can make a profit from seed farming on just a small plot of land. Many folks take up seed growing as a side business, rather than as their sole source of income.
Support UCFA by purchasing UJAMAA SEEDS at ujamaaseeds.com. In addition to plant types, our culturally meaningful seed collections are organized by regional and ethnic/cultural traditions.
