For 60 consecutive years, they never sold a single acre due to their firm belief in land as an important asset for African-Americans to build equity and legacy.In 2019, a group of Clemmons family members, friends and advisers co-founded the 501c3 nonprofit organization- Clemmons Family Farm, Inc.- to preserve and steward the farm under a 20-year lease and to continue the community-building work, farming, and celebration of African-American history, art and culture, that Jack and Lydia led on their farm for nearly 60 years.In 2023, through a private fundraising campaign, Clemmons Family Farm, Inc. purchased the historic Clemmons farm from the Clemmons elders when they were 100 years old. The Farm was purchased at its appraised fair market value and we conserved 122 acres under a land conservation easement to protect the beautiful land and natural resources, and to build a community around cherishing a remarkable African American legacy.The African Diaspora Culinary Bonanza is closely tied to Clemmons Family Farm's organizational mission to:PRESERVE and maintain the historic Clemmons farm in Charlotte, Vermont as an educational prototype, and a model for preserving African-American owned agricultural land, cultural and heritage assets in the U.S.EMPOWER a growing network of Vermont's artists, including those who bear the cultures of the African diaspora, with opportunities for professional development, advocacy, visibility, networking, paid engagements, collective healing, and a safe haven for creativity that helps them to thrive;BUILD a loving multicultural community around African-American/African diaspora history, arts and culture. The kind donations we receive from the general public help us steward the Clemmons Farm and make it available for phenomenal community programs like this one. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c9dbb910-3680-11f1-94cc-3b4f07bbef99-rimg-w1200-h623-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/charlotte/african-diaspora-culinary-heritage-bonanza-at-the-clemmons-farm/100001987146559853 - **Event Categories**: food-drinks, Art, Nonprofit, health-wellness, Business, Entertainment, Workshops, dance - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Charlotte - **state**: VT - **country**: United States - **location**: Historic Barn House (on Clemmons Family Farm) - **lat**: 44.3206149 - **long**: -73.25541199999999 - **full address**: Historic Barn House (on Clemmons Family Farm), 2122 Greenbush Road, Charlotte, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: African Diaspora Culinary Heritage Bonanza at the Clemmons Farm! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/5d90c9efed0df3f507c98008a24cc07609c3ce50f1079f5362a7509a5fc338d3-rimg-w851-h315-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1776006234 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is African Diaspora Culinary Heritage Bonanza at the Clemmons Farm! being held? - **A:** African Diaspora Culinary Heritage Bonanza at the Clemmons Farm! takes place on Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 11:30 am to Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 01:30 pm at Historic Barn House (on Clemmons Family Farm), 2122 Greenbush Road, Charlotte, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for African Diaspora Culinary Heritage Bonanza at the Clemmons Farm!? - **A:** Tickets for African Diaspora Culinary Heritage Bonanza at the Clemmons Farm! are priced at USD 20 per person.
