Excerpt:

Collaboration is deeply rooted in the soil of Memphis, and that makes the local urban farming community ripe for impact! In a time when it is easy to be disconnected from your food sources, Memphis farmers are stepping up to make sure the community has a meaningful connection with their food and the people growing it.

In 2015, Derravia and Bobby Rich turned their gardening hobby into a business with Black Seeds Urban Farms. Their impact goes beyond their plot of land in Uptown — they work year-round to build community. They bring their produce to the people through a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and serve as a sustaining supplier of Roxie’s Market, a vibrant community-driven marketplace located near St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Another collaborator in the Memphis urban farming scene is Camille “Farmer C” James, who has been getting her hands dirty through Halls of Ivy since 2021. Halls of Ivy focuses primarily on the educational side of the food system through programming like Farmer C Garden Project, Seed 2 Market entrepreneurial training, and the What Color Are You Today? book series.
