NOFFN/Covenant House Garden Project featured on NPR
[...] Covenant House is introducing its kids to the transformative possibilities of urban farming. They're working with the New Orleans Food & Farm Network, which is helping to build a community of urban farms and urban farmers around the area. Through a new partnership, the Food & Farm Network will help kids served by Covenant House turn 10 empty lots in the Treme neighborhood into new fruit and vegetable farms. They'll receive training and education, they'll work together to grow food and they'll watch as once vacant and neglected plots of city land become productive property by their own hands. The fresh, healthy produce of the new farms will be served at group meals at Covenant House and also sold to local restaurants to help fund the Covenant House mission.
