Black Farmers' NetworkChanging the narrative of the black belt farmer

Black Farmers’ Network (BFN) is a site for rural, African-American farmers to share stories, products and services in a now digital-driven economy. In an effort to change the narrative of Rural America, the network also documents the agribusiness successes of these first-year to centennial farmers — farmers who have had to confront a discriminating history for centuries in America’s Black Belt Region. BFN formed to not only report on these experiences but provide 21st-century marketing and branding strategies to help their rural enterprises grow and sustain online.
