Green Heffa Farms
Green Heffa Farms, co-founded by Clarenda “Cee” Stanley, is not only a farm, but also a tea company, a natural health brand, and an educational resource.
While from an agrarian family in Alabama’s Black Belt, Cee did not see herself as a farmer. Nevertheless, in 2018, she helped Green Heffa Farms get started. By 2019, Cee found herself solely responsible for Green Heffa Farms, so she began to re-imagine the legacy she wanted to leave for her children and grandchildren.
She is a student of heritage farming and indigenous traditional knowledge, incorporating honor and reverence to the ancestors throughout the farm’s processes, products, and presentations. The packaging patterns are inspired by the rich tapestries of the Gee’s Bends Quilters from Alabama, as well as the fabrics of her African ancestry. The plants used in the farm’s teas are those with strong cultural connectivity that Cee has studied voraciously.
