According to Ashantae Green, owner of Green Legacy Farm, which is a Black-owned farm in Florida, the beer is brewed with locally-grown ingredients, then composted to soil to be planted into trees, flowers and gardens.

The owner said proceeds from the sales of the beer will benefit food security through Green Legacy Farm programs and environmental justice through GreenLining Jax.
