Our Team

BOLT is founded and led by a team of Black women and their families in the fields of farming, food systems, law, policy, herbalism, midwifery, mothering, and community organizing. Born out of the need for Black families to have land and food security, and the gaps in resources and capacity for farmers to create systemic change, BOLT is our labor of love, and a creation of the worlds we want to live in. As members of the communities that we serve, we seek to center marginalized voices as we shift the narrative of who a farmer or land steward is — and create the opportunities for families to thrive in agriculture.
