When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Aminah Haghighi faced what she calls her quarter-life crisis and began gardening at her Toronto home. Today, she runs a farm in Prince Edward County, Ont., that sells everything from tomatoes to seedlings at the local farmer's market. But in her journey to launch Raining Gold Farms, Haghighi says she's faced racism from those living in the rural community. Jacqueline Scott, a University of Toronto Ph.D candidate who studies race and the outdoors, says that's not surprising given that nature is often coded as a "white space" — and farmers are often considered to be white men. Earlier this year, we explored their stories in Back to the Land, a four-part series about people who are (re)connecting with nature and the outdoors.
