We honor the legacy of Jackson and Lydia Clemmons, and are centered at a 148-acre historic working farm that is one of the 0.4% of farms in the US that remain African American owned.  Our Mission: 1. PRESERVE and maintain the Clemmons farm in Charlotte, Vermont as an educational prototype, and a model for preserving other African-American owned agricultural land, cultural and heritage assets in the U.S. 2. EMPOWER Vermont's artists with expertise in African diaspora arts & cultures with opportunities for professional development, advocacy, visibility, networking, paid engagements, collective healing, and a safe haven for creativity that helps them thrive; and 3. BUILD a loving and supportive multicultural community around African-American/African diaspora history, arts and culture.
