A once-derelict lot in South Glen is buzzing with new life as volunteers tend rows of squash, peppers, and herbs in a collective urban farm. Spearheaded by a local environmental nonprofit, the project allows residents to trade labor for fresh produce, making nutritious food more accessible.

“We wanted to show that growing your own food is possible, even in the middle of the city,” said Project Coordinator Yasmine Lee. “Plus, it’s a great way to bring neighbors together.”

The farm hosts free gardening workshops that draw a diverse crowd—from retirees itching to share expertise to teens curious about sustainability. Although still in its first season, organizers are already thinking ahead, with plans for a small greenhouse to extend the growing season and possibly even introduce honeybee hives next year.
