PROMO | Good Roots: The Carpenter Family

In this episode of Good Roots, we travel to the small town of Grady to meet the Carpenter family. The Carpenter family has been farming in the Delta for 50 years. It began with a single acre and grew to 1200 acres with 35 family members keeping it going. The business side has been managed by Abraham Carpenter Jr. since he was 12 years old. We’ll talk to him about the struggles and triumphs he has experienced, not only as a farmer, but as a Black farmer. This month, stimulus funds allocated to minority farmers are being distributed, and debts are being forgiven, and for Abraham Carpenter, this is a victory after a long-fought battle.
