Providence Farm Collective (PFC) grew from the Somali Bantu Community Farm, a three-year pilot launched in 2017 to address the challenges and opportunities of addressing fresh food insecurity and farmland access
Providence Farm Collective was established in 2019 as a non-profit umbrella organization with a mission of cultivating farmer-led and community-rooted agriculture and food systems to actualize the rights of under-resourced peoples.
PFC is the only organization in Western New York that supports under-resourced farmers needing access to clean, rural farmland, farming and business education, technical assistance, access to markets and the opportunity to farm for income.
