Meet the farm & its farmer

Scrapberry Farm is a tiny farm on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples in the place we now call Portland, Oregon. I tend land, plants, and spirit on unceded Chinook territory at the Black and Brown Herb Exchange’s Black Liberation Garden.

I’m a queer, Black, anti-racist dirty femme — an alchemist, cottage witch, farmer, and herbal happiness maker. I grow and make magic with my hands and with my heart: furniture, quilts, songs, poems, food, and drink. I’m a mad scientist shimmering with sparkles and honey, working at the intersection of ancestors and intuition.

When I’m not on the farm, I serve Black Food Sovereignty Coalition as Executive Director. I am the founder of Come Thru Market, Black and Brown Herb Exchange, and a few other projects that have since sunset. It’s a busy life!

Recently I’ve made some changes to my collaborative network. You can always keep tabs on who I am currently working with, learn more about me, and see links to my other projects at shinyshiny.org.

Meet the farm & its farmer

Scrapberry Farm is a tiny farm on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples in the place we now call Portland, Oregon. I farm on unceded Chinook territory at the Black and Brown Herb Exchange.

I’m a queer, Black, anti-racist dirty femme — an alchemist, cottage witch, farmer, and herbal happiness maker. I grow and make magic with my hands and with my heart: furniture, quilts, songs, poems, food, and drink. I’m a mad scientist shimmering with sparkles and honey, working at the intersection of ancestors and intuition.

When I’m not on the farm, I’m trundling through markets with my iconic little red wagon. I serve Black Food Sovereignty Coalition as the current board Chair. I manage Come Thru Market, Portland’s Black and Indigenous farmers market. It’s a busy life!

I do a lot of other things, too, including training programs, land access and ancestral reclamation work, and more. Learn more about me and see links to my other projects at shinyshiny.org.
