Ujima Jam Sessions (https://subscribepage.com/ujimajams) are farmer-focused engagements that are virtual or in-person and focused on: sharing information (guest speakers), sharing resources, learning together, and helping each other out on our farms (think all-hands work days, with refreshments and/or on-farm demos from experts).

Launched in 2022 as peer learning circles to better meet the needs of Black and other underserved beginning farmers in Future Harvest's Beginning Farmer Training Program, Ujima Jams are now a farmer-led initiative supported by OurSpace.

Join us at Tayman Field for a day of fun and hard work!

Ujamaa Cooperative Farming Alliance (UCFA) has an agreement with St. Thomas Church to farm Tayman Field as a learning experience and demonstration area. The field is terraced. We have planted potatoes, garlic, beans, okra, tomatoes, and more. We are continuing to build plots. During the jam session, we expect to be installing a fence, cutting saplings, planting about 2,000 sweet potatoes, preparing beds, mulching, and we hope to get a BCS to create more crop rows. Depending on the rains, we may have a “water brigade” to fill and carry containers down the slope. Please bring drinking water and snacks. We’ll bring extra water and snacks as well.
