Farmwashing: Deception on Aisle 3

In this episode of Black in the Garden, Colah B and co-host Plant Zaddy dig into the concept of farmwashing—how big brands use the imagery of small, sustainable farms to sell products without truly supporting the farmers who make ethical food production possible. The conversation explores misleading marketing, the exploitation of migrant farm workers, and the erasure of Black farmers from the narrative. Plus, practical tips for intentionally supporting Black-owned farms and resources like the Black Farmers Index to help you do just that.
