Lettuce Harvest
July 2020
Excerpt:
There are countless ways to grow food, and even more stories about what brought people to tend the land. Face of a Farmer is a Lettuce Harvest Storytelling Initiative. It is our goal to showcase some of the amazing food production taking place in urban spaces, and the people who make it all happen. We’ll be sharing photos and stories of local food producers to celebrate the shared passion, and to act as a reminder that everyone has the potential to grow their own food.
Features Sharon from City Farmer
“When I was first offered the job gardening at City Farmer, I didn’t even ask if it was paid. I’ve been gardening here for 20 years. We grow a variety of food and pollinator plants, and use the garden as a learning opportunity for people in the community. We’ve had to cancel the programming available this summer because of Covid, but normally we provide learning opportunities for young children up to adults.”
