Our Farm
“As Tierra Fértil Coop, we want to honor the hard work, expertise, and legacy of farm workers in Henderson County and western NC by creating an opportunity for present and future generations of Latinx people to make radical changes on the food, health, agricultural, and labor system.”
Our Story
Tierra Fértil Coop was founded in 2020 by immigrant workers from Mexico and El Salvador to reclaim knowledge, resources, and collective power. Rooted in food justice and racial equity, we are building a cooperative that creates economic opportunities and strengthens our community’s access to healthy, culturally relevant food.

Who we are
This worker-owned cooperative is led by immigrants from Mexico and El Salvador, reclaiming ancestral knowledge and collective power. As worker-owners, we share responsibilities and decision-making to create economic opportunities and advance food justice.
