“We support reclaiming neighborhoods through urban farming and farming with service of the community in mind,” Patterson said.

Excerpt:

“The USDA is focused on shoring up the food system and to learn about ways they can interact with Ohio farmers towards that goal,” Goldmon said. “Visiting farms gives us examples of what can be done and how the USDA can support communities to build local economies.”

LaSalle Harris founded JoAnna House II in 2009, after she went through a drug recovery program, to assist women and others who were also on the journey of drug recovery. Her efforts expanded to include JoAnna House II urban farm about eight years ago, with the goal of teaching people how to work the land and how to provide sustenance for themselves, while offering a source of fresh local food.

Through the recovery program, Harris has multiple houses in the south Akron neighborhood to house and assist those in need of a sober place to live. The urban farm Harris said, “is about education and eating healthier, and is one way people can heal and grow.”

The mission of the JoAnna House II urban farm is to grow food that is affordable and cost-effective for the community. The food that is grown is given away or sold at a minimum price, giving residents access to high-quality, locally grown food.

“I have always had an interest in growing my own food and eating closer to the earth,” Harris said. “My grandfather had a farm in West Virginia, and he started my love of the land.”
