Excerpt:
People gathered Saturday evening to walk through the farm and share conversations and refreshments. Several raised beds were lush with sprouting plants. People walked on paved walkways past the beds and sat at picnic tables.
Henry said the location of the farm is “smack dab in the middle of a food desert” and is strategically located to provide the community with access to fresh produce.
There are no grocery stores in the neighborhood where the farm sits and the goal was to provide a beautiful space in an area that has experienced systemic oppression and is filled with blighted land, according to Food Programs Coordinator Cheyenne Kyle.
“I did this for people whose names I don’t know whose faces I saw in my dreams,” she said. “I knew that this was necessary and I feel the most like myself when I’m here.”
Growing in the farm are tomatoes, bell peppers, bok choy, arugula, basil, carrots and several other types of fresh produce. The plants will be harvested and sold out of the small building that sits on the property — soon to become a grocery store.
