Rock Rose Food Justice Project

Pre-Thanksgiving harvest for SoulKitchen.

This summer I raised funds to support six fantastic Environmental Justice interns from the University of Delaware. Among them: masters students in entomology and speech pathology; a pre-med undergrad; and three PhD students in Geography and English.

We spent 10 weeks in Baltimore building gardens with the Nepalese-American Cultural Center; planting trees and native plant meadows with Stillmeadow Community Fellowship; building chicken coops with Ulysses Archie Jr.and the Baltimore Gift Economy; and growing and delivering many hundreds of pounds of organic food from the Rock Rose Food Justice Project to Soul Kitchen, the The Agoge Project and Love & Cornbread.

Oh -- and we paddled the Susquehanna and the Potomac, just for fun.
