Our herbal apothecary is loaded with freshly harvested medicinal herbs, herbal cosmetics and healing products crafted by Herba farm founder Yonnette Fleming. Please check out our calendar of advanced food medicine, herbalism and sound healing classes. High vibrational communal dinner fundraisers will occur at high moons on the farm as in previous years. 


Our work engages head, heart and hands
This was truly a nourishing day - our seeds, our food, our songs, the drums.

Love is everywhere on the farm.
Please send an email if you would like to be a part of this Earth love. Our formal volunteer recruitment begins in May.

It's nice to talk about food and nicer to actually produce it.

 

seed is culture - seed is liberation - seed is the future - seed is energy - seed is potential - seed is life - seed is history

FROM COMMUNITY BLIGHT TO COMMUNITY ASSET, THE CREATION OF AN HERBAN FARM

March 2011  Community outreach began to get neighbors invested in new farming project and rehabilitation of neglected neighborhood lot.

  • Removed debris and carted away toxic soil

  • Cleared out and remediated soil

  • Designed new gardens for space

  • Used recyclable materials to build walls and draining systems.

  • Solarized invasive weeds 

  • Created the community composting system

 

May 30, 2011  New soil arrives and planting begins.  The new stage of farm preparation began:

  • Planted beds with herbs and foods

  • Trees and fruiting bushes arrived

  • Put in farm rows

  • Designed the sacred circle garden 

  • Planned medicinal labrinth garden, designed paths and planted medicinal herbs

 

June 2011  Neighbors show excitement and support for the new farm, and drop by to work on the farm whenever the gate is open.  Hattie Carthan Urban Agriculture Youth Corps begin work on the farm.

 

July 2011 Casitas arrive and are constructed in space.  Visioining with community members about space.
