KATE, APOLOGIES FOR ALL CAPS, MY SHIFT KEY DOESN’T WORK FOR REASONS OPAQUE TO ME. I PROMISE I’M NOT YELLING. THE V-GARDEN MATERIAL IS FROM AMY BENTLEYS EATING FOR VICTORY, HER BOOK ABOUT FOOD SYSTEMS IN THE US IN WWII. THE OTHER FIGURES ARE FROM A NATION ARTICLE IN 2007 ON BLACK FARMERS – I’M AWAY FROM MY DESK SO I CAN’T FIND THE MONTH AND YEAR AT THE MOMENT, BUT WILL WHEN I GET BACK AFTER THE WEEKEND. IT WAS IN THEIR ANNUAL FOOD ISSUE.

Will Allen’s operations are in Milwaukee not too far from me. He is an amazing man doing amazing things. He recently contracted with a local cemetery to grow food in their old greenhouses (which once were used to grow flowers for the graves but have since been abandoned).

I grew up in Atlanta and I remember (this could well be the early 70s I’m remembering) that there was a freeway approved and hundreds, if not thousands, of houses — whole swathes of the cityscape bulldozed. You could drive for blocks and blocks and blocks and it was all concrete front steps to nowhere, with English ivy taking over the trees (and in some places, kudzu). And then the freeway was successfully challenged, and the empty land sat there — and sat there. And my heart went out to it — my heart of avarice! Oh, to farm those thousands of acres! It looks like FINALLY someone took this on.

Nuestras Raices is awesome and super fantabulous! Their parties really rock too (dancing people and dancing horses, roast pigs, dancing cubayalas)

see this photo set on flickr for shots from 2 years ago.

Two great posts from you today, Sharon. I don’t know how you do it.

Perhaps we can look to Will Allen for the future of urban African American farming. Let’s hope so.

It’s not that I doubt anything you say here, but I’d love to know your references for the numbers you cite on the growing ranks of gardeners and the makeup of Victory Gardeners. Could you provide them, please?

Excellent to hear about!

On non-white people farming, you may or may not have heard of Nuestras Raices in Holyoke, MA?

http://www.nuestras-raices.org/~nuestra1/

Economic, cultural, community, and agricultural development in the Hispanic community there. Community lots for gardening, home gardening, etc. Plus they have at least one festival each year, open to everyone, to try out the food, etc.
