New Thing #217: Seeds of Hope

First I would like to give the Times Picayune credit for that title. They wrote a newspaper article on this topic and I just loved that phrasing.

I had the opportunity to tour the Hollygrove Market and Farm. This vision in the making will be a "self-sustaining nonprofit store selling local produce and an education center for urban farming." The initiative will offer not only fresh food to an under served community but also economic development. It is a great plan for selling locally grown fresh produce and encouraging urban farming. It is coming along beautifully thanks to grants and volunteers. I am excited to see the project grow. 

Check it out here:

what the finished product will look like
