We all own our farms and seek opportunities to expand our operations. We strive to teach our young men and women about the virtues of farming, the importance of agriculture, and the commitment it takes to be successful in the global business of agriculture.

The NBGC was organized to represent the unique needs of full-time Black farmers. We have formed partnerships with each other, with majority farmers, and with corporations, because together, we all contribute to the global food supply.

We produce major commodities:

In addition, we grow fruits, vegetables and sweet potatoes.

We raise livestock including cattle, hogs and poultry.

What’s so great about the products we grow is that it’s all done on lands that have been a part of our heritage for many generations.

This isn’t our granddaddy’s or great granddaddy’s farm. Think of us today as:

We constantly integrate technology and partner with the agricultural industry to help develop new products, technologies and processes to strengthen our mission.

Farming is hard work but there’s nothing else we’d rather do.

We’ve weathered droughts and floods, fought hungry bugs and tough weeds, battled heat waves and freezes, but there’s nothing else we’d rather do.

We’ve had profitable years and disastrous years, endured discrimination and intimidation, but there’s nothing else we’d rather do.

All thanks to our Creator, and with our positive attitudes, we keep moving forward.

Each season, we prepare the soil, plant our fields, tend our crops, monitor the commodity markets, harvest our rewards, raise our families, and teach others about agriculture, the business we love and enjoy.

Back to work now. The fields are calling.
