About Sagamore

Rooted in land.
Growing together.

Sagamore Foundation is a community-rooted nonprofit working at the intersection of agriculture, education, and health.

Who We Are

Healthier lives begin with strong roots.

Based in rural south Mississippi, we steward land, grow food, and create programs that help families build healthier, more resilient lives.

Our Story

What began as a small regenerative farm and family homestead has grown into a regional hub for food-as-medicine, youth development, and nature-based learning.

For more than a decade, Sagamore has been a trusted partner to families, schools, clinics, and community organizations across Mississippi.
