ABOUT

As the visionary founder and CEO of Green Heffa Farms, one of the nation's few Black woman-owned farms, Farmer Cee has built something rare: a life and a business that are completely, unapologetically her own. Equal parts herbalist, entrepreneur, author, and advocate, she has spent decades proving that sustainable living, holistic wellness, and serious profitability can not only coexist — they can thrive together.
With an award-winning background in marketing and philanthropic fundraising, Farmer Cee brings a sharp business mind to everything she grows — from the herbs in her fields to the leaders she develops from the stage. Her work sits at the powerful intersection of ancestral plant wisdom, modern entrepreneurship, and a deep, abiding respect for the Earth and the communities it sustains.
She is the author of The Black Girl's Guide to Building a Boutique Farm — a no-nonsense, empowering roadmap for women ready to build farm businesses that are cute, profitable, and built to last.
At the root of it all is a simple belief: nature heals, community matters, and every woman deserves the tools to build something great.

Agriculture & Sustainability
From Soil to Strategy
The future of food is being grown by a new generation of farmers — and it doesn't look like it used to. Farmer Cee takes audiences inside the modern agrarian movement, exploring how small and boutique farms are reshaping local economies, food sovereignty, and what it truly means to live off the land intentionally.
Equity & Inclusion
Building Tables, Not Just Seats
Diversity without intention is just decoration. Farmer Cee challenges organizations to move beyond checkbox inclusion and build cultures where underrepresented voices don't just belong — they lead. Practical, honest, and rooted in real experience.
Herbal Wellness & Plant Medicine
Rooted in Healing
Long before wellness became an industry, plant medicine was a way of life. Farmer Cee connects the ancestral wisdom of herbal healing to today's growing demand for natural, community-centered wellness — and shows audiences how to bring that knowledge back home.
Philanthropy & Fundraising
Generosity as a Growth Strategy
Great missions don't fund themselves. Drawing on 20+ years of fundraising expertise, Farmer Cee equips nonprofit leaders, boards, and organizations with the mindset and tools to inspire generous giving — and build donor relationships that last beyond a single campaign.
Entrepreneurship
Cute, Profitable & Sustainable
Building a business that looks good on the outside and runs well on the inside takes more than a great idea. Farmer Cee gets real about the grit, strategy, and self-awareness it takes to grow something that lasts — especially for Black women, women, and entrepreneurs of color navigating spaces not always built for them.
