Dear Friends,

We're excited to invite you to Kindred Seedlings Farm's 2nd Annual Silent Auction & Fundraiser, fully online for 2025!

Your support helps us sustain and grow a farm deeply rooted in anti-racism, food sovereignty, and community healing. This isn’t just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of legacy, love, and land.

Our Roots

Kindred Seedlings Farm was founded by LaShauna Austria in response to the absence of Black women farmers in Alamance County. What began in her backyard is blooming into a farm—a space for herbal teas, culinary herbs, and Black agricultural joy. Kindred Seedlings is more than a farm. It’s a vision for collective liberation, grown from seed, watered with care, and rooted in community.

Our Goal

This year, we’re raising $25,000 to continue designing and building our garden mandala. Funds will support thoughtful design, accessible pathways, and fencing to protect and preserve this sacred growing space.
