Guardian of the Harvest
Coming Soon October 2024
The scarecrow was first used to scare birds away from precious crops during harvest. Farmers used the first recorded scarecrows in ancient Egypt to protect their crops from flocks of quail. Farmers often made scarecrows out of tunics and nets hung on reeds during this time.
The Guardian of the Harvest will open up opportunities for new farmers and help to bring food security into our communities. Millions of acres of inherited land or investment property sits undeveloped and underutilized across America. This untapped land now has a place for agricultural usage that will revolutionize and reinvigorate farming for new black farmers. Health is wealth and food is the fuel.
