Our "In-The-City Farm & Garden" initiative is a transformative urban agriculture project designed to combat food insecurity, foster economic empowerment, and promote sustainable food production in underserved communities in Temple, Texas. This campaign seeks to raise $2,500 to set a strong foundation for operations and to kickstart critical initiatives.

The Story Behind Our Locations: Our urban farm project is deeply rooted in the history and transformation of two key properties that will serve as the foundation for our initiative:

416 N Katy Street, Temple, Texas:
- This land is family-owned by our founder, Deonta Davis. For years, it sat vacant, becoming an unintended space for a homeless encampment, which unfortunately led to drug-related activities that frequently required intervention by the Temple Police Department.
- Instead of allowing the land to remain a burden on the community, we are transforming it into a space of growth and nourishment, where residents can engage in productive, healthy, and sustainable farming.
- This initiative will create a positive, thriving environment for all citizens to enjoy while making an impactful difference in addressing food insecurity.
305 S 22nd Street, Temple, Texas:
- This land was generously donated in-kind by Linda Weaver, who has given us a five-year commitment to use the space for urban farming.
- This provides us with a unique opportunity to experiment with and refine our farming techniques, build expertise, and develop a strong curriculum that will serve as the backbone for future agricultural expansion.
- Located close to the underserved communities we aim to impact, this location is a critical asset in making healthy food more accessible to those in need.
