This July, we’re inviting you to cultivate some joy and harvest some beautiful flowers!

Your support of Ujima and George Washington Carver Farms will help us make critical improvements to our farm office and outdoor classroom while launching an exciting new chapter—our Artist Residency Program.

Throughout the month, every donation and workshop registration brings us closer to creating a supported space where local artists, young folks, and community members can gather to learn, grow food, and create in nature.

Why It Matters

George Washington Carver Farms is rooted in the extraordinary legacy of Missouri-born scientist, educator, artist, agricultural pioneer, and champion for Black farmers George Washington Carver. Far more than the "peanut and sweet potato guy," Carver revolutionized American agriculture and showed that innovation, creativity, and care for the land can transform communities.

Today, we carry that legacy forward by transforming vacant land into a thriving community destination. The farm features an outdoor classroom, demonstration gardens, an orchard with more than 18 fruit trees and shrubs, over 40 native plant species, and Victory & Peace Park. Creating a place where food grows, youth learn, neighbors connect, and hope takes root.
