Demaaj Brooks

Our farming experience comes from genetics. No one has physically taught us how to sow a seed nor save food scraps for compost. We have learned together through growing cannabis, for our health, the struggles, maintenance, and benefits. Our dream is to have a small farm to be able to eat from our own hands and help our community receive fresh organic local raised food while using our knowledge to help regenerate the land and offering services to help our community thrive. We're also pro hemp.

Goals, Values, Vision

Our future farming plans are to build a business with our farm. We would like to grow food, cannabis, hemp, flowers, and animals. We would also like to become beekeepers. We plan to sell part of our harvest from everything we grow. We know how to use regenerative farming practices to help the land improve each year we grow on it. We would like to build our dream home on the land and have the option to add more houses for our children if we desire. We want a food forest.
