Are you interested in learning more about why bees are buzzworthy? Not only are they resilient, collaborative, industrious, and generous, but they play a key part our natural food chain. Join us Friday, May 20th at 10 a.m. MT/12 p.m. ET, and take flight with Dr. Darren Spencer, USDA Veterinarian. He is also the owner of a 57-acre experimental, educational, and interactive space in Notasulga, Alabama, where some of his work focuses on beekeeping. We’ll cover the importance these mighty insects play in our environment and how you can help with their survival.
Learn more about Harlem Comes to Cotton Farms LLC, an African-American owned and operated by the Spencer family. The farms’ name is a reverse play on the 1973 blaxploitation film “Cotton Comes To Harlem,” which was filmed in the Harlem, NY community where Dr. Spencer and his siblings grew up. In 1993, the Spencer family settled south into cotton. Harlem Comes To Cotton Farms LLC strives to represent the spirit of uplift and self-determination inherited from the great northern and southern leaders that gave rise to the farm and pass that spirit of uplift and self-determination onto our next generations of northern urban and southern rural leaders.

I’ve started singing It’s Friyay, woo to my cats on Friday mornings. I think the pandemic isolation is getting to me.
You are are lovely team. I really appreciate the information the team provides weekly. There are time when I think the weekly topic may not apply to me, but to my (good) surprise, it is. 🙂 Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.
