Tiffany Bellfield
Director/Founder, Kentucky Black Farmers Association
Tiffany was raised in Waco outside of Richmond, Kentucky where her family raised tobacco and instilled a passion for horticulture. She is a graduate of the National College, obtaining an Associate in Science. Her degree led her to work at a local hospital. During her time there, she decided that the best way she could help her community was to become a local food advocate. She started her advocacy journey by volunteering in local community gardens. Later, Tiffany became part-owner of her childhood family estate and decided to turn it into a space for kids and adults to come and reconnect to the land. She began Ballew Estates, LLC in 2016. She began working as a Farm to Table Coordinator with Community Farm Alliance in 2017 and after 5 years of building Patchwork Initiatives by way of working with farmers of color, she transitioned into founding The Kentucky Black Farmers Association in 2023. Additionally, Tiffany is a dedicated pollinator conservationist, Mother of one daughter, Makayla, homeschool teacher, and community organizer.
