Enjoy Hibiscus Tea from The Refugee Collective Farm at Juneteenth Recognition
St. David’s will have special Juneteenth Hibiscus Tea available for purchase at our Juneteenth Recognition and breakfast celebration on Sunday, June 22. Our Juneteenth Hibiscus Tea is grown on the Refugee Collective Farm, which a St. David's parishioner co-founded. The Refugee Collective employs refugees and immigrants in fair-wage, dignified work through two social enterprises: a textile manufacturing studio and an organic farm.
The Refugee Collective Farm is in the historic Freedman Colony of Littig at the eastern edge of Travis County near Elgin. The land was first owned by Jackson Morrow, a former slave and the first black postman of Texas. He and his family farmed the land, which was known for sweet potatoes and cantaloupe. The current landowner, Jon Beall, purchased the land from Jackson's descendants, and it continues to be farmed today by refugees putting down deep roots and growing culturally desired food. The land is protected in perpetuity through a conservation easement.
