Healing
Our communities are not without healers, but we lack space to activate our networks to produce healing experiences that are affordable and accessible. This farm will provide healers with a platform to host and amplify their offerings throughout the region. Freedom Farm Azul will offer southern healers a space to host mindfulness, herbal remedy courses, and post-release transitional space for justice impacted community members.
Educating
Like the community healers, we intend to offer educational experiences that tackle an array of subjects. These curated offerings will amplify the impact of our local talent. This social capital activation is a direct act of resistance against structural violence. It is also a crucial element in personal and communal development. This includes providing affordable space for movement organizers to build in peace, without the economic burden "space" can often become.
Nourishing
Experience is a key component in perspective-shifting. We will lean on the rich collective memory and history of Alabama to reacquaint ourselves with land stewardship and healthy food consumption. This third prong is a vital component of our mission.
Thank you for coming over
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our Black August Observance and celebrated Fannie Lou Hamer's birthday with us. Your presence and engagement truly made the event special. Please enjoy this video recording of the event, and we hope it serves as a beautiful reminder of our shared experiences and the community we continue to build together at Freedom Farm Azul.
