Our Mission

Handewa Farms is a minority, women-led farm desiring to improve the quality of life for others. As an Afro-Indigenous led farming effort, the collective is comprised of members genuinely dedicated to farming, as well as providing access to fresh, quality food to insecure households and communities. 

At Handèwa, we believe that food access is essential, especially with food deserts surrounding the area of our farm. We seek to provide over 6,000 pounds of food for those in our communities, with an emphasis on women and children in North Carolina. We must provide for the citizens that live on our native lands and to spread the necessary wealth + health gifted to us through the Earth.

Each member of the carefully selected collective has a personal tie to farming and brings a unique set of talents. It is the ultimate goal of the collective for future generations to be inspired to connect with the Earth and the natural medicine found in growing one’s food.
