The Farms You'll Visit
Each stop tells a story of resilience, innovation, and deep connection to the land.
Peoples Farm
Seed2Shirt works on critical issues at the intersection of regenerative & organic agriculture, meaningful livelihood development, and cultural revival
Tillery Resettlement
Many of the resettlement families still live in the original houses built during the New Deal.
Hill Family Farm
Our farm is a place of hands-on learning and recreation. We offer programs that give individuals the knowledge and tools they need for a brighter future.
Harriet Tubman Farm
The Harriet Tubman Freedom Farm is rooted ealing Black Southerners relationship to land in the South through agriculture and education, the farm is a space for community.
Black Cotton
A 5th-generation cotton farmer from North Carolina, Julius Tillery founded BlackCotton to help center and uplift the Black community closest to the cotton fields in Northampton County, North Carolina.
Your Black Farm Tour experience goes beyond the fields—connecting you with 13 Black-owned businesses throughout your journey—from the restaurants where you'll savor farm-fresh meals to the Airbnbs and bed and breakfasts where you'll unwind after a day of exploration. Your participation provides you the opportunity to directly support Black entrepreneurs building generational wealth in agriculture and hospitality.
Your Weekend Journey
What riders have to say
I want to thank you for allowing me to experience the BFT.
Absolutely nowhere in Ohio can I ride in the country for miles and see nothing but black people let alone stop at a black farm.
Robert
This was a great ride and so much more. Amazing work Lisa Robinson.
Katia

Yosef

Black Farm Tour 2026 Commemorative Jersey
Wear the Journey
The 2026 Black Farm Tour jersey isn't just something you put on before the ride. It's what you'll still be pulling out of your drawer five years from now, remembering that weekend in August when you rolled through three counties and discovered what resilience looks like when it's rooted in the soil.
Order yours before June 15, 2026.
Limited Availability
Order Deadline: June 15, 2026 at Midnight
We're doing one production run. No reorders. No "I'll get it later."
This isn't artificial scarcity—it's how commemorative gear works. We print what we order, and that's it. If you want the 2026 jersey, you've got until mid-June.
After that? You'll be the one asking riders at next year's tour where they got theirs.
Every Mile Supports Youth Cycling
When you register for the Black Farm Tour, you're not just signing up for a ride. You're putting helmets on kids' heads. You're funding bike maintenance. You're making it possible for young people to discover what they're capable of when someone believes in them.
"I never thought I could ride 100 miles. But my team believed in me, and I believed in them. We did it together. Now I know I can do anything."
— Talib, Triangle Bikeworks Teen
