Excerpt:
“We are farming and we’re trying to be as visible as we can, because there is a deep desire for Black folk to farm. But there are some barriers for them to do that, barriers that we had to hurdle and mountains we had to climb. The biggest one is access to land. You can’t grow food if you don’t have land in which to grow it on, not at a point where you can operate a business to share your produce or sell your produce at a market. There are various reasons, historically based, that Black folk have lost land and not have the economic opportunity to purchase land, so if the masses of Black folk don’t have that grand opportunity, then you won’t have Black farmers.”
Deep Roots is expanding its ties in the community through “Food is Medicine,” a pilot initiative funded by Aetna Better Health to provide affordable farm-to-table connectivity for healthy eating habits. The farm earned a $10,000 grant, as did C.W. Williams Community Health Center for a teaching kitchen program and Uptown Farmers Market, which received $20,000.
