Celebrating the Mothers of the Land

Dear mama
Don't you know I love you?
Dear mama
Place no one above you
(Dear mama) Oh mama, I appreciate you
Although my shadow's gone
I will never leave you
"Dear Mama", Tupac Shakur
Happy Mother's Day!
On this special day designed to celebrate maternal figures and caregivers- physical and spiritual, Black Soil: Our Better Nature salutes the Mothers of the Land in our network of Kentucky based farmers, culinary artists, vendors and artists.
