"Keep up the awesome work! I stopped by last Friday – you had quite a bit of stuff! I absolutely love what you are doing. Thanks for bringing inexpensive fruits and veggies to the CD!!"

“My produce box looks wonderful, thanks for providing us with this service!”

"We’re enjoying the fresh produce and having fun planning our menus around the surprises we receive each Sat."
Beverly Vernon

"We're lovin' our csa boxes each week! Tonight our family is enjoying collard greens. I had no idea until recently how good they are, and they are HUGE! I do believe that if Jesus had been anywhere near the clean greens farm at the beginning of that first holy week, the people would have lined the road and waved collard greens instead of palms :) Thanks for your hard work."
Claire Wilson

"On August 11, I volunteered with Clean Greens, helping fill CSA orders. When I was finished, Rev. Jeffrey informed me that there was left over produce: Red Lettuce, Green Lettuce, Romaine, Garlic, Walla Walla Onions, Parsley and Eggs and that I was welcome to take some home to my family. I hadn't planned on cooking that day so I declined.
With last night's leftovers on my mind I started home from work when it dawned on me that a green salad would go nicely with my already prepared meal. So yes I was now heading to my local grocery store to buy items to make Salad. I could have kicked myself because the left over produce from volunteering would have made a mighty fine side salad on top of the fact it would have been free! Once in the produce department I was shocked that now I was paying for produce that looked like it had been on the shelf for awhile. The heads of lettuce were smaller and had less color than the ones from Clean Greens Farm, but I was here now and I really wanted a salad. Once I arrived at home, I began preparing my salad thinking the whole time about how great the produce from Clean Greens market was compared to what I was now preparing. And to add insult to injury, after washing the lettuce from the grocery store, my hands turned red and began to itch... from the pesticides!

To make a long story short, I am now getting what ever produce Clean Greens Farm has for sale every week at their Friday and Saturday Markets vs going to my local grocery store!"

From The Heart

One of the most asked questions about this project is, why are we attempting to do so many things at the same time? For example, we are planting and growing vegetables, while managing our own inner-city farmers market. This is being done in addition to publishing the only African American Business Directory in the state, and continuing to promote a community based endowment fund committed to preserving small inner-city businesses.

These are all daunting project, and each one of them alone would… Continue

FROM THE HEART - April 28, 2009

Each week I will write to you, the members of clean greens and express what I feel is the urgency of the times which make necessary our efforts to grow and harvest fresh food for our inner-city community. Today I want to begin by thanking Whole Food Stores, for their support. On April the 22nd our project was given 5% of the total sales from their four stores in this region. Thanks again Whole Foods.

On the 18th of April we had scheduled our first planting, however due to the fact that the land… Continue
