Akron nonprofit turning empty city lots into thriving urban farms
“Urban (agriculture) is here. We now know enough to where we can really start to concentrate on making this flourish and making it a more permanent part of our urban cities,” said Goldmon.

Excerpt:
KRON Ohio (WJW) – A founder of the Joanna House II, Lasalle Harris, said she wanted to find something that could help give the women she serves a sense of purpose.
Joanna House serves women who have struggled with addiction and others who may have been homeless.
Harris focused on creating urban farms, turning empty inner city lots into plots where vegetables and flowers can be grown, then sold or distributed to the surrounding community.
“If they plant something, they watch it grow and then they give it out to the community. It makes them, empowers them to feel better about themselves,” said Harris.
The effort also serves as a job site for Jobs for Ohio’s Graduates summer youth employment program, giving young people in the community an opportunity to earn money while doing something positive for their community.
On Wednesday, Dr. Dewayne Goldmon, a senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, toured her site in a visit to learn more about urban farming in Akron.
“That’s always promising to see what was a vacant lot being a part of our food supply. Certainly I would consider that a success, but I also came here to look at things that we need to continue to work on in the Department of Agriculture,” said Goldmon.
