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

Great Day on the Farm

Thanks to everyone who came out to help on the farm yesterday! We planted 24 rows of Champion Collards and 11 rows of Green Wave Mustard greens. We planted over a third of the upper section of the field. The tables in the greenhouse are well on their way to being built. We'll be going out every Saturday now, so if you didn't get to go this weekend, you'll have the opportunity to get out there when you have the time. We'll be meeting at New Hope Baptist Church at 9am and driving out to the farm.… 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
