Setting Strategic Intentions for 2025

...and beyond

Throughout the winter of 2025, our team reflected on our past strengths and opportunities, and co-created a healthy workplace that benefits everyone. 


We then set goals and prepared a roadmap for our future activities that will continue to uplift our community. 


This process has helped us to hone in and define our roles in this landscape to carry out our mission and achieve our shared goals. 

OUR MISSION

To (re)connect Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to local food, land, and nature in Baltimore

OUR VISION

To cultivate socially just communities deeply connected to the natural world

OUR VALUES

BERRY PI

We believe the best things in life, like a good pie, are meant to be shared. Our values, baked together into the acronym BERRY PI, remind us that our work is about offering everyone a seat at the table and making sure there’s always enough to go around. 

Belief in Our Future 

  • We’re always cooking up something better, with optimism as our secret ingredient. 

Empowerment 

  • We hand over the recipe and the baking tools. We trust people to take the lead, make decisions, and shape their own success, while offering support and guidance along the way. 

Reciprocity 

  • The best pies are made (and shared) together; we give and receive in equal measure. 

Relationship Building 

  • We take time to connect, listen, and understand, knowing strong relationships are the crust that holds everything together. 

Youth Development  

  • We help the next generation grow their skills, confidence, and leadership so they can create and share their own pies. 

Play 

  • We’re not afraid to add a dash of fun and creativity to everything we do so innovation rises naturally.

Integrity 

  • We stick to the recipe, even when it’s tempting to cut corners. We act with honesty, consistency, and accountability so people know they can rely on us, no matter the circumstances. 

OUR GOALS

  • Raise diversified and sustainable charitable funding to support infrastructure development, innovative programs, and long-term organizational capacity. 


  • Generate earned income through programs, services, and partnerships that reflect Backyard Basecamp’s values and directly support its mission.  


  • Leverage assets to create immersive, culturally meaningful agritourism experiences that generate income and foster community engagement.
