Why it’s listed
Two specific filters: Black-owned-and-operated [[farm|working farm]] (Black US farm operators went from roughly 1 million in 1920 to fewer than 50,000 today; every Black-owned farm started in this century is a piece of that demographic recovery), and sweet-potato production on the [[delmarva-peninsula|Eastern Shore]], which is the regional heritage crop that’s been farmed continuously there for centuries. Combining the BIPOC-led signal with the heritage-crop signal makes this a substantive substrate-builder operation.
Bioregional fit
Machipongo is in Northampton County, on Virginia’s [[eastern-shore-virginia]] peninsula — [[delmarva-peninsula|Delmarva]], between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic.
