Supporting Black growers today and impacting future generations

Bridgeforth Farms partner Bill Bridgeforth was one of only 15 farmers in the country named a “Champion of Change” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture back in 2014, and rightfully so. The Bridgeforth family story is inseparable from the history of Black land ownership and farming in America. We are committed to ensuring that the success story endures as a testimonial and sharing our knowledge to advance and support the interests of Black growers now and in the future.

Our leadership also works to cultivate a love for agriculture among future generations to ensure the sustainability of our global food supply. Learn more about our key advocacy areas below:

National Black Growers Council

Bridgeforth Farms has for many years served as a member of the National Black Growers Council, which works to “improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of Black row crop farmers.” Bill Bridgeforth is Chairman Emeritus.

Making a Global Impact

Founded in 2012, Bridgeforth International Corporation works to develop agriculture worldwide by facilitating business between Bridgeforth Farms, the National Black Growers Council, and overseas buyers while maintaining a focus on promoting agribusiness education and awareness.
