Tracy L. Galloway
As a third-generation farmer, I carry forward the wisdom and resilience passed down from my ancestors. My journey from military service to eco-entrepreneurship has taught me discipline, strategy, and the power of service. As CEO of Galloway Family Farm & Education Center, I combine my lived experience with a passion for teaching, mentorship, and land stewardship. Whether I’m consulting on edible gardens, building on-site installations, leading educational workshops, or speaking as a motivational leader, my focus remains clear: empowering communities to reclaim their relationship with the land.
Galloway Family Farm & Education Center is a 1-acre organic farm and hands-on training hub located in the heart of our community. We are rooted in three generations of agricultural legacy and led by a proud U.S. Army Veteran and Small Farm Business Owner. Alongside my wife and family, I’ve built this farm to be more than just a place to grow food—it's a space for growth, learning, and empowerment.
We use an eco-entrepreneurship model—a blend of sustainable farming, education, and small business development—to turn vacant land into “Organic Edible Landscapes.” Our goal is not only to grow food, but to grow communities, spark ownership, and create micro-economies that support self-reliance and resilience.
Galloway Family Farm & Education Center isn’t just a farm. It’s a movement.
It’s a place where culture, community, and cultivation come together—where the soil tells stories and the harvest feeds futures.
Why We Exist & Who We Serve
Galloway Family Farm & Education Center was born from the vision of preserving our family's legacy and addressing the deep-rooted challenges faced by BIPOC communities in farming, food access, and land retention.
