HAMPTON, Va. — On unused land along Pembroke Ave. in Hampton, a couple’s vision is growing.
“The figs, the blackberries, the lavender, and the flowers are all going to be long-term stuff,” Tyler DeHerrera said describing what he and his wife are growing on the land they’re calling Karl’s Farm.
There will also be wildflowers and a rotating cover crop, which was buckwheat as of April 20, that will be used to grow pumpkins and gourds.
“The end goal here is to do a you-pick,” said DeHerrera.
Making money isn’t the only goal, though. Deherrera is also honoring his grandfather, who worked for the Department of Agriculture for many years helping people make their farming practices more sustainable.
The farm is named after him.
“The goal is just kind of Get our generation spun back into what growing things looks like, what it takes to do that. Then, indirectly, tying the kids — that next generation — tying them into what it takes to grow things,” DeHerrera explained.
While the operation is called Karl’s Farm, as of April 20 it was not officially a farm. It was operating as a large community garden because the DeHerreras did not have the necessary permits from the city to operate it as a farm.
