Joppy Momma's Farm

More Than a Farm—A Living Legacy in Joppa

For over 150 years, the neighborhood of Joppa has stood as a symbol of perseverance. Born from the strength of Freedmen who crossed the Trinity River after emancipation, this community has carried forward a legacy of resilience, culture, and self-reliance.

Today, that legacy lives on through Joppy Momma’s Farm (JMF)—a place where history, healing, and hope grow from the soil. Led by Kimberly High, a generational descendant of Joppa and seasoned farmer, the farm thrives on land once tended by her great-grandmother—one of Joppa’s very first settlers. Kim chose to trade retirement for renewal, carrying forward her family’s legacy to nourish her community once again.

What began as cabins with backyard gardens in the 1800s has now transformed into a half-acre farm that has already produced nearly a thousand pounds of fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables for neighbors who have long lacked access to affordable, healthy food. But this is only the beginning.

The vision is bigger than food. Joppy Momma’s Farm is building a future rooted in community, education, and empowerment:

Every seed planted, every vegetable harvested, and every family nourished depends on these vital resources. With your support, we can grow stronger and feed more people

This land is more than soil—it is a living source of nourishment and knowledge for generations to come. And now, Joppy Momma’s Farm is inviting all of us to be part of this journey.

Together, we can ensure that Joppa’s story—its fight for justice, its resilience, its nourishment—continues to grow for another 150 years.

Join us. Invest in legacy. Help Joppy Momma’s Farm reach its $50,000 goal and watch this vision take root.

Growing Needs, Growing Impact

Growing Needs, Growing Impact

Joppy Momma's Farm is ready for its next chapter. With land generously donated by Habitat for Humanity for a future Community Learning Center, we have an extraordinary opportunity to create a permanent place where Joppa families can gather, learn and grow.

Your support will help us:

• Build the Community Learning Center — creating a home for job training, youth education, health and wellness programs, and community workshops.
• Expand access to fresh, healthy food — with a Market connecting Joppa families to affordable, locally grown produce.
• Grow food year-round — through a greenhouse that increases what we can harvest and share with the community.
• Build the infrastructure a growing farm needs — including reliable electricity, a wash station, refrigeration and dry storage to safely harvest, clean and preserve fresh food.

• Joppy Momma’s Farm continues to expand, we need a few essential tools to help us nourish more families and keep our harvest thrive
