Strength to Love II is a community based program in west Baltimore’s Sandtown- Winchester neighborhood that uses a 1.5 acre farm to offer workforce development and employment to community residents and citizens returning from incarceration. The farm also helps to address the food apartheid issue in and surrounding our neighborhood. As a program of the nonprofit Intersection of Change, we follow a mission statement that seeks to enrich the economic, social and spiritual lives of those dealing with poverty related issues in our community.
Our Farm
The 1.5 acre farm at Strength to Love II is a community based urban farm that provides hands-on agricultural training and job opportunities for our workforce development participants and citizens returning from incarceration while also addressing our neighborhood’s food apartheid issue. Our farm is a visible symbol of transformation in our community that has successfully converted vacant land into an operational farmĀ by growing organic produce for local consumption. We use environmentally sustainable methods to grow our high quality produce. We offer fresh, nutritious, great tasting produce at competitive prices to diverse retail, restaurant, institutional, and individual customers.
