More Than a Farm—A Living Legacy in Joppa

Our Story

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Joppy Momma's Farm is a community-driven farm located in the historic town of Joppa, just south of Dallas. Founded in 1872 by emancipated slave Henry Hines, Joppa is one of the last Freedman towns in Texas. Despite its rich history, it has faced extreme marginalization and was declared a food desert. Joppy Momma's Farm aims to change that by providing healthy, affordable food, empowering the community, and creating opportunities for health and wellness through sustainable agriculture. We offer fresh produce, herbs, honey, and year-round family-friendly events, all while working to create jobs and support underserved communities.
News & Community Impact
Joppy Momma’s Farm is growing more than food — we’re growing community. From expanding fresh-produce access in South Dallas to hosting educational programs, volunteer days, and meaningful partnerships, our work strengthens wellness and opportunity in the historic Joppa neighborhood. Stay connected for stories of impact, progress, and the people who make it all possible.
