Excerpt:
Butterflies flit in the breeze, enjoying the blooms in a working farm that offers a window to the past and the future.
The San Antonio Food Bank operates a robust 25-acre farming operation on the city’s west side, on land once owned by the Van de Walle family.
The Belgium immigrants were known far and wide for their vegetable crops.
Now, that space is growing into the future, nurtured along by urban farmers who are still producing food and bringing life to the Food Bank motto: “Fighting Hunger & Feeding Hope.”
The green growing guru who oversees the operation is Mitch Hagney, the group’s director of food resilience.
“We’re proud to be able to farm on historic farmland at what used to be the Van de Walle Farms,” Hagney said. “This is the same soil that’s been nourishing this community for over 100 years, and we’re very proud to continue that tradition and (be) feeding as many folks as we can.”
