Callie Walker's Land Legacy: A Case Study in the Central Virginia Agrarian Commons

Hosted by Land Justice Futures, this case study explores how Callie Walker's family farm became part of the Central Virginia Agrarian Commons, a regional network of BIPOC farmers and community-held farmland working to advance Black food sovereignty. Through a unique combination of a title donation and a life estate, Callie chose to permanently steward her 100-acre farm as a shared community resource.

Featuring Callie Walker and Central Virginia Agrarian Commons leader Duron Chavis, this conversation offers a powerful example of how landowners can create lasting legacies through community stewardship. For those interested in land access, succession planning, and the Agrarian Commons model, this resource illustrates how collaborative land ownership can expand opportunities for future generations while strengthening local communities.
