Ranchfest 2024 is an accumulation which began in 2020 by Rachael Stewart the mom of the Southwest Black Ranchers and Stewart Pastures. Successfully navigating USDA programs and land ownership to others in the community. Rachael has helped black farmers to successfully purchase over 1000 acres in Cochise County. Ranchfest is an important leap to furthering the programs with the non profit, helping small and minority farmers to understand land ownership and USDA programs. This year the non profit is also expanding to include additional events and programs. The new programs support farming and health in the community.
