A Visit to Howard Allen at Faithfull Farms

Last week I visited Howard Allen at Faithfull Farms in Chapel Hill, NC, an operation he started in 2015. Faithfull Farms is a year-round production farm, producing all of its food on just about an acre. My first impression of the farm was that it’s one of the most pristine, peaceful, and impressive farms I’ve ever visited. The rows were neat and brimming with healthy green vegetables. Howard even had me stick my hand in the soil, and it was as fluffy as chocolate cake.

A Walk Through Transplanting Traditions, a Burmese Refugee farm

This 8-acre farm provides land for Burmese refugees who have relocated to the Triangle, all of whom were farmers in their home countries. They are able to bring their traditional food and farming practices here. Transplanting Traditions is a space for collaboration, celebrating their culture, reconnecting with land, sharing agricultural practices, and modeling food sovereignty.
