Excerpt:
Three Sisters Gardens has been turning vacant lots into thriving urban farms for nearly eight years in West Sacramento.
Now, the nonprofit is asking for a long-term commitment from the city so that it can continue to grow and plant roots in the Broderick and Bryte communities.
“A lot of people don’t know, but we live in a food desert. Once I found out about that, I knew that we could do something about it, having all these open, vacant lots,” said Alfred Melbourne, founder and director of Three Sisters Gardens.
There is a seed of hope planted with each harvest.
The mission of the farms since day one has been to help the local environment and get fresh, community-grown produce out to neighbors who are food insecure.
“One of my beliefs as a native First Nations person is that our wealth is not determined by how much we have, it’s by how much we give away,” said Melbourne.
Three Sisters currently operates four community gardens in West Sacramento. The goal is to one day have 50.
Their main location and hub is located on the corner of 5th and C streets.
The garden employs young farmhands in order to support the youth in Yolo County and hopefully create future farmers.
