Muhammad Farms is an agricultural co-operative in Bronwood, Georgia, run by the Nation of Islam.[1]
Initially founded in the 1960s under the direction of Elijah Muhammad, as part of the NOI's economic program.[2] The intention was to create a foundation for future African-American agriculture.[1] However, its initial operation was a money pit and the Nation sold the land. Later, the refounded NOI under Louis Farrakhan rebought 1,600 of the 5,000 acres for its renewed farming operations in 1994.[3][4]
Muhammad Farms grows fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains which are then sent to major cities with an NOI presence.[1]
