"They did not know beautiful plants grow from blackened soil." -Black Seed Farm GoFundMe We must call attention this month to a devastating arson event affecting members of the BIPOC community working on increasing access to local food. Black Seed Farms was in the process of installing a hydroponic growing system on their South Whidbey farm when $250,000 worth of donated equipment was destroyed on July 19. Just 12 hours earlier, their team had transported truckloads of heavy equipment to the site from Kent, with plans to get the system up and running as soon as possible.

Do we no longer need to work on DEI? (Spoilers: no.)
