Dennis Hutson’s Allensworth Farm
Avid farmer Dennis Hutson is also a minister and retired military chaplain, just like the colonel who founded Allensworth, the first California town established by African Americans in 1909. Today, Dennis uses sustainable land management practices and native hedgerows to energize his community and support life.
