CICADA CALLING FARM

Cicada Calling is a 2-acre diversified vegetable and cut flower farm in Hammond, La. founded and operated by Becks Hilliard and Sierra Torres. Becks and Sierra believe farming in the Gulf South is an act of resistance towards a disappearing community that has been ravaged by climate change and the petrochemical industry. 

The majority of their seed comes from cooperative seed growers in the South so they can grow food better adapted to our climate and increase the seed biodiversity of our region. This is an intentional decision to invest in a future for Louisiana and create alternative economies, structures, and systems to support, heal, and nourish their community.
