Abolition In Action Farms
Our Purpose
Abolition in Action Farms grows veggies, fruits, & herbs for undersupported Black gender-expansive communities living on the east coast. We are based in N’dakinna “shoreham, vermont.” Intentionally, all doulas & land stewards at AIA Farms are Black trans queer disabled people. We nourish ourselves & other chronically underfed people, who have been robbed of our collective autonomy & sacred relationships to land. Our organic & no-till space uses regenerative (versus extractive) economics. 90% of what we grow & all our services are free, & the other 10% is sold in local markets using a reparations based model to fund our survival programs. We share knowledge about land-based, ancestral survival skills within our communities for free (& offer paid stipends to participants when we can). These survival skill sessions are about organic farming, free water filtration, foraging, ecobricking (cement-less method on ecobricks.org), community defense, harm reduction, & Black history. We also host seed & houseplant shares to improve the mental/physical health of Black folks that don’t have access to land. We grow native & diaspora plants to support land sovereignty, resist genocide by ecobricking free housing, & provide free supportive herbs (especially to incarcerated neighbor) through mail & in-person mutual aid pop-ups. We all just want to get free.
