Synopsis

The Green Green Book, is a must-have for your library! From historic family farms passed down through generations to innovative urban gardening initiatives, from bustling farmers markets to sprawling vineyards and orchards, this groundbreaking guide highlights the breadth and depth of Black agricultural heritage, innovation and excellence. The Green Green Book provides an opportunity to support Black farmers, ranchers, beekeepers, foragers, homesteaders and others by visiting them to observe how they do what they do and purchase fresh farm-to-table goods. However, The Green Green Book is more than just a travel guide to visit these bountiful places — it is a celebration of culture, community, and connection which includes original passionate poetry, and historical accounts with images and testimonies. Also included is a national directory of Black agricultural organizations, steps in applying for a farm number, lists of various grants and more.

"With The Green Green Book, we pay homage to both Victor Hugo Green and his groundbreaking, humanitarian vision, and we simply say, “Thank you” for The Negro Motorist Green-Book (aka The Green Book) which became a comprehensive safety manual by providing a directory of Black-friendly businesses during a time of heightened, legalized racial profiling and violence. The Green Green Book is a definite MUST HAVE for every human wanting to share in this journey!"
