Running from March to December, this series of hands-on workshops is intended to serve as an accessible point of entry for anyone interested in learning the seasonal fundamentals of urban agriculture. No previous farming experience is required to participate!The BBUFA Field School's schedule is split up into three sessions: spring, summer, and fall. The majority of instruction will take place on site at FAB's teaching farm in South Baltimore, with occasional classroom sessions depending on content.Learn more about the history of the Black Butterfly Urban Farmer Academy program on our website.About the FacilitatorDenzel Mitchell, Jr., is the Executive Director of the Farm Alliance of Baltimore. With over 15 years of farming experience informing and enriching his leadership, Denzel aims to ignite passion in the next generation of Black farmers and foster a legacy of stewardship for the land.Raised a country boy with cowboy roots in Oklahoma, Denzel’s deep-rooted connection to agriculture began early, laying the foundation for his commitment to sovereignty in both the production and consumption of food. Denzel was a founding organizer and member farmer of the Farm Alliance, and completed Future Harvest’s Beginner Farmer Training Program in 2012. Shortly thereafter, he (alongside a farmer friend, a chef, and a food historian) brought a nearly-forgotten heirloom pepper variety, Baltimore’s fish pepper, back to the Chesapeake foodshed’s culinary palette.Denzel and his family founded Five Seeds Farm in 2008, operating it with a cadre of supporters and volunteers until 2016. Since then, Denzel has done it all: mentored new growers; organized farmers markets; advocated for infrastructure to support urban agriculture; coordinated Baltimore City's cleanup of brownfields sites; provided healthy food education in Baltimore City public schools and after-school programs; advised local farms including Great Kids Farm, Real Food Farm, and Whitelock Community Farm; served on the board of directors for Acres4Change, Belair-Edison Neighborhoods, Inc., and Friends of Great Kids Farm; managed the farm at Strength to Love II for three seasons (2017-2020). In addition to leading the Farm Alliance of Baltimore, Denzel currently serves on the board of Our Common Table and as the proud baba of 5 fantastic humans.Additional InformationThis workshop will be held indoors.
