About Our Farm
On June 2013, Strength to Love 2 farm opened with the goal of providing job opportunities in the Sandtown-Winchester community as well as to address another serious problem plaguing several Baltimore city neighborhoods, food apartheid. We are a community based urban farm that has successfully transformed vacant land into an operational farm, growing organic produce for local consumption. We primarily grow organic leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, and several varieties of lettuce. We also grow okra, a variety of peppers, mustard greens, kale, carrots, cucumbers, squash, turnips, radish, beets, and many others on our 1.5-acre plot. In the summer of 2019, we began growing flowers. Strength To Love 2 started under the direction of Newborn Community of Faith Church, and has now transitioned to an operation of Newborn’s 501©3, Intersection of Change.
Mission
To create opportunities of growth and employment for residents of Sandtown-Winchester and surrounding neighborhoods who have experienced incarceration, through the planting, tending, harvesting, and selling of organically grown produce and flowers.
From the Farmers…
Clayton: “Growing in Baltimore city is magical. Watching the plants grow is just so exciting. Every time I see a hoop house full of produce It’s like whoa! We’re actually doing it! When you step inside one of the 16 greenhouses on the property, the noise of the city fades. We call it tunnel vision. You get in here and everything else starts to fall away.”
