River Road Farm, Louisiana
My name is Leroy Conish. I am an African American Farmer. I am the owner/ operator of River Road Farm located in Vacherie, LA. Saint James Parish. My farm is 35 acres. My farm is also challenged by being located in the petro chemical corridor know as "CANCER ALLEY" I have been commercially farming since 2004. I am presently farming 10 acres of vegetable crops which I sell wholesale and retail. I also work on policy issues that are important to food security and food systems. I provide on farm workshops and tours to educate farmers and others who desire to learn about food production and current events such as climate change, and the importance of having access to healthy affordable fresh produce in poor and underserved communities.
