“Farming While Black”: Growing Food on Chicago’s West Side

“Farming While Black”: Growing Food on Chicago’s West Side

Located on Chicago’s West Side, the Austin community doesn’t have a lot of healthy food options. A group of 22 partner organizations, called Austin Eats, is trying to change that. One of the ways is through twice-yearly food education events led by One Earth Collective. This summer we helped lead Austin Eats’ food education team to plan and put on a “Movie At The Farm” event that welcomed at least 150 people.
