Join us at our farm in Hempstead, Texas every Thursday from 8am until noon to help us on the land. From tree planting and harvesting to cleaning up our gardens and high tunnels, there is always work to be done at Blackwood. Enjoy a beautiful morning in the country while getting your hands dirty and learning some of the tasks of being a farmer.

Mission Statement
Blackwood Educational Land Institute is a teaching farm on a quest to model the indispensable role of restorative food systems in all our lives. Together we can co-create better ways to grow and source food, eat and live--restoring natural systems, public health and animal welfare, and celebrating all it means to be human!
Description
As a non-profit, we seek to:
- Explore and practice restorative agricultural techniques to inspire and prepare the next wave of farmers and ecologists
- Teach a strong work ethic to youth, as they learn where their food comes from and how important healthy food systems are to their lives
- Provide programming, special events and tours of our model farm to cultivate awareness about how restorative food systems are a critical tool to help solve our environmental crisis
- Demonstrate how essential it is to balance food production and land preservation
