WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
Sylvester Adams
Goat Farmer
“I joined UCAC three years ago as a local goat farmer without a clear plan of action. Along the way, I met inspiring minority farmers who motivated me to elevate my farming approach. Today, I focus on sustainability and regenerative practices to raise healthier animals and ensure long-term growth for my farm.
Recently, I’ve taken on the role of providing technical assistance to support other farmers in our network through one-on-one consultations and workshops. Additionally, I contribute by managing social media marketing and design to help amplify our collective impact.”
