Excerpt:
Right now, the ground and soil of the farm’s raised garden beds is frozen solid-last year’s collard greens are waiting for the spring thaw. But winter doesn’t mean a break for the family; their 60 chickens keep them busy all year.
“This is a chicken coop that Taylor Swift helped us buy. She doesn’t know she did it! We partnered with Soldier Field to do fundraising during her concerts,” Natasha said. “We raised enough money during those three days to buy this chicken coop.”
The family home-schools their four children, and this farm serves as an extension of the classroom. For the Nicholes family, this is about more than just fresh produce-it’s about survival and heritage.
“I feed the chickens. If my mom needs me to, you know, plant stuff, I’ll play it put down mulch,” said Jessica, the couple’s eldest. “It’s very important because a lot of people like me don’t really know how to do this stuff.”
“We want them to be able to survive if anything happens. And we want them to be able to connect to the land the way our ancestors did,” Natasha said. “A lot of people, specifically Black folks, have a very, very weird relationship with growing and farming and gardening because of what happened when we were brought over and I want to be able to take that back and own it.”
