Scrub Hub: Federal funding chaos hits close to home for Indy urban farmer Danielle Guerin
When I first started in the outdoor world of farming, it was not my skillset or my “thing.” I was very much a girl who liked getting her nails done.

Excerpt:
The urban farm spans 2 acres scattered across four sites in Irvington, Martindale-Brightwood and United Northeast. Across the city, Guerin teaches young people, apprentices aspiring farmers and trains adults in the field of sustainable agriculture.
She’s also spent these years building food security across Indianapolis, feeding nearby communities through farmers markets, food pantries and CSAs.
There is paperwork to be done and funding to apply for, but Guerin is still outside almost every day, working the farm.
She’s the only full-time farmer at Soul Food Project right now — federal funding freezes, cuts and delays destabilized the nonprofit’s usual operations. This year, Soul Food Project had to suspend its apprenticeship program.
We drove out to one of the Soul Food Project farms in August to learn how she’s navigating the uncertainty. Her answers are edited for brevity and clarity.
We’ve had a rough season this year just because of all the federal funding stuff. The way executive orders have been coming down have been causing a lot of chaos in the nonprofit field at the moment. Not just for us, but everywhere.
