Soul Fire Farm

Soul Fire Farm is an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm and training center based in Petersburg, NY, dedicated to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. Operating as a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization, the farm provides comprehensive programming that reaches over 160,000 people annually through multiple specialized services. The organization offers farmer training programs specifically designed for Black and Brown growers, equipping the rising generation of BIPOC farmers with regenerative agroecology practices rooted in ancestral wisdom. Soul Fire Farm delivers food justice workshops for urban youth, establishes home gardens for city-dwellers experiencing food apartheid, and provides doorstep harvest delivery services for food-insecure households throughout the region. Beyond direct food distribution, the farm conducts systems and policy education for public decision-makers, working to transform food systems at institutional levels. Their comprehensive approach combines practical agricultural training with spiritual activism, natural building skills, health education, and environmental justice work. Soul Fire Farm also administers reparations and land return initiatives for northeast farmers, recognizing the historical injustices embedded in land access. By practicing regenerative agriculture with deep reverence for the Earth and the wisdom of ancestors, Soul Fire Farm creates a healing space where diverse communities gather to learn sustainable practices and strengthen movements for food sovereignty and community self-determination.
