We Grow Urban Farm

02/03/2025

Greetings friends and supporters,
Thank you for all the love!
We wanted to send out a quick update on new developments in our campaign to Save the Urban Ag Academy. As of yesterday morning, site admin informed me they successfully petitioned for a single year of funding to operate 3 stand alone agriculture elective classes.
While this is good(ish) news, and a decent start, we feel this does not adequately resource a garden/farm and program of our scope, size, and ambition. And is certainly no replacement for what is being cut which includes a dedicated full time teaching/coordinating position, 3 years of sequenced classes (4-5/day), and program operating budget.
In light of this, we plan to stay the course in advocating strongly against the shutdown of Burbanks full 3 year Urban Agriculture Academy and hope you will stand with us.
Keep those letters coming and if you plan on joining us at Thursday’s school board meeting wear GREEN to show your support for all garden based education across the district and our efforts to save the LBHS Urban Ag Academy.

"Farming has been a revolutionary act-both as a means of sustenance in the face of dehumanization and constant erasure, and also as a full-circle return. In recent years, the latent seeds of Black agriculture have begun to sprout again as Black and other oppressed people are returning to agrarian identities that have been suffused with stigma and trauma, and reimbuing them with honor and pride. In cities, they are reclaiming urban space and developing new relationships to food and farming. They are rediscovering land where there seemingly was none: in the parkway dirt between the sidewalk and the street, in pots on porches, and in the tracts of empty, blighted lots. There are also the stirrings of a reverse migration from the city back to the countryside, where a new generation of Black farmers are reclaiming traditions and relearning lost skills to survive the end of the (modern) world"

This is a wonderful thing. The beekeeper forgot to put the frame in his hive, so the bees just freestyled, building a structure that would best handle temperature and ventilation. Organic form. [via ]

Returntonow.net is amazing!
