Scrapberry Farm is a tiny farm on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples in the place we now call Portland, Oregon. I farm on unceded Chinook territory at the Black and Brown Herb Exchange.

I’m a queer, Black, anti-racist dirty femme — an alchemist, cottage witch, farmer, and herbal happiness maker. I grow and make magic with my hands and with my heart: furniture, quilts, songs, poems, food, and drink. I’m a mad scientist shimmering with sparkles and honey, working at the intersection of ancestors and intuition.

When I’m not on the farm, I’m trundling through markets with my iconic little red wagon. I serve Black Food Sovereignty Coalition as the current board Chair. I manage Come Thru Market, Portland’s Black and Indigenous farmers market. It’s a busy life!

I do a lot of other things, too, including training programs, land access and ancestral reclamation work, and more. Learn more about me and see links to my other projects at shinyshiny.org.
