Farming by Faith with special guest Patrick Muhammand

Black in the Garden

Soil Cousins, today’s episode is all about growth—both in the soil and in the soul. We’re digging into the journey of Patrick S. Muhammad, also known as The Principal Farmer, a visionary leader in the homesteading movement who’s transforming lives through agriculture.

Patrick has spent the last decade turning his 31-acre Your Faith Farms into a thriving homesteading oasis while helping over 30 families build farms of their own. His viral educational videos have inspired millions, making sustainable farming feel approachable and accessible for the everyday person. And now, he’s getting ready to release his third book, Farming by Faith, a testament to the spiritual and practical principles that drive his mission.

With an Emmy nomination under his belt and features on platforms like Netflix’s Chicken Soup for the Soul and John Deere, Patrick is proof that farming is more than just working the land—it’s about cultivating community, resilience, and purpose.

Join us as we explore his incredible journey, the role of spirituality in farming, and how he’s empowering Black families to reclaim their agricultural roots.
