Ujima Jam Sessions are farmer-focused engagements that are virtual or in-person and focused on: sharing information (guest speakers), sharing resources, learning together, and helping each other out on our farms (think all-hands work days, with refreshments and/or on-farm demos from experts). Launched in 2022 as peer learning circles to better meet the needs of Black and other underserved beginning farmers in Future Harvest's Beginning Farmer Training Program, Ujima Jams are now a farmer-led initiative supported by www.ourspaceworld.org.

Join us at A Heart 4 People Farm in Upper Marlboro, Prince George’s County as we honor “The Essence of Ujima!” the critical importance of collective responsibility and community in these times!

A Heart 4 People is Farmer Michele's ministry and the way she honors the legacy of 4 of her ancestors. Her mission is to grow food to help senior citizens, as well as those in our community who are food insecure. One of three sites that carries out AH4P’s mission, this 0.5-acre site was birthed in November of 2022. She currently grows mixed vegetables and herbs. 

Tasks: Harvesting summer crops, trellising, seed-sowing, preparing beds for planting, painting signs, and more!
