Providing workforce development and jobs while addressing food apartheid
Strength to Love farm is a community based urban farm that provides workforce development and job opportunities for 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 farm 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.
Located along Lorman Street between Monroe and Presstman Streets, our farm grows produce on raised beds in high tunnel hoop houses on 1.5 acres of reclaimed land. Our farm set up includes:
- over a dozen hoop house high tunnels
- 100% organic compost
- overhead irrigation
- washing station to triple wash all crops before sale
- large walk in freezer
- refrigerated delivery van
