Somali Bantu Community Association Of Maine runs Liberation Farms
"Liberation Farms puts food justice into action. It empowers new American families to grow healthy, culturally meaningful food. By reconnecting with their agricultural roots, farmers nourish both body and spirit while building new lives in Maine."
"iskashito" - Iskashito, a traditional Somali cooperative practice of farmers cultivating a piece of land and equitably sharing the profits of their combined labor, inspires the commercial grower program at Liberation Farms. Iskashito farmers receive land, technical assistance, seedlings, tools, and marketing support. The Iskashito program highlights the farm’s mission and encourages livelihood development and skill building for participating farmers, while providing fresh, local, high quality produce to those in need. In 2024, Iskashito farmers distributed a total of $160,000 of produce, mostly to low-income communities.
