Excerpt:
To celebrate and grow this agriculture system, Grow Greater Englewood partnered with Growing Home and the Urban Growers Collective to host the third annual Chicago Urban Ag Crawl on Sunday, September 8. About 200 people attended the south-side event, which featured 17 farms and gardens across Englewood, Auburn Gresham, and Back of the Yards, as well as 15 south-side chefs and caterers. This is the first year the crawl has grown beyond Englewood, and Seals says the goal is to expand the event citywide to support Black and Brown farmers all across Chicago.
“Urban agriculture aims to heal the land, make the best use of land vacancies, and connect communities to locally grown food,” Seals says. Black communities are the hardest hit when it comes to poor access and education around nutrient-dense foods. Sistas in the Village co-owners Mecca Bey and Nyabweza “Bweza” Itaagi teach community members how to grow and eat nutrient-dense foods on their Englewood farm. “Food can either heal you or harm you,” says Bey, who is also a holistic nutrition practitioner. Bey and Itaagi grow fruits, vegetables, and culinary and medicinal herbs. Ninety-five percent of their produce is sold for a low cost at the Englewood Village Farmers’ Market.
