🌽Show notes: Ten years ago, six acres of abandoned lots in the Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore were transformed into an urban farm, and today the @FarmBureau Federation has rated it as one of the top 10 innovative farms in the country . . .
But there’s more than food being grown in Park Heights; they’re growing community and investing in the future.
Join host @JR_Jamison as he shares stories from the PPHUF, and sits down with four of the faces who keep the farm and its neighborhood thriving each and every day.
