We Fight for Farmers’ Rights—Every Single Day.

From courthouse steps to Capitol Hill, NBFA turns injustice into new laws, funding, and land-ownership wins.

Helping Farmers Since 1995

The National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) is a non-profit organization representing African American farmers and their families in the United States. As an association, it serves tens of thousands of members nationwide.

NBFA's education and advocacy efforts have been focused on civil rights, land retention, access to public and private loans, education and agricultural training, and rural economic development for Black and other small farmers.

FoundER

The National Black Farmers Association Incorporated is a non-profit, community organization founded on February 1995 in Baskerville, Virginia by John W. Boyd, Jr. He is fourth generation farmer who is determined to hold on to his heritage, and to save his farm and others from foreclosure caused by racial discrimination under the United States Department of Agriculture.

Why Advocacy Matters

Black farmers lose 30,000 acres of land every year—often to discriminatory lending, heirs-property loopholes, or eminent-domain “mega projects.” NBFA’s advocacy team stops the bleed by drafting bills, testifying in Congress, and demanding USDA accountability.
