Black Women of DC| Gail Taylor
Gail Taylor is a Washington, DC based urban farmer and the founder of Three Part Harmony Farm, a half acre growing space in Northeast DC that has become a steady source of fresh, accessible food and community connection.
She built the farm out of a clear and practical vision. Food grown close to home. Food that reaches the people around her. After years of commuting to a large scale farm outside the city, she chose to root her work in her own neighborhood and grow for the people she lives among.
Since launching Three Part Harmony Farm in 2012, Taylor has used organic and sustainable practices to produce affordable food while also teaching others how to farm, care for the land, and build something lasting. Her community supported agriculture model allows residents to pay what they can, making fresh produce available without rigid barriers.
As a Black woman farmer, she has also created space for other farmers of color to learn, work, and reconnect with land based knowledge. The farm operates as both a food source and a place of learning, where volunteers, neighbors, and future growers come together to build skill, share history, and stay rooted in community.
Gail Taylor’s work reflects a grounded approach to food justice in DC, where growing food, teaching others, and building community happen side by side.
