Sowing Reciprocity at the Urban Agriculture Collective of Charlottesville, Part 1

I seem to be on an urban garden kick lately. But I find myself drawn to the communities that crop up around them.

The Urban Agriculture Collective of Charlottesville has so many facets and is forging community on so many levels that I decided to do a two part series on their work. Here's part one, which focuses on their unique economic model.

Growing New and Old Roots

Charlottesville is a town that prides itself on welcoming people from around the world–-among them many refugees. Some of those refugees are working on a farm that’s actually giving them the opportunity to enrich our community and help us rediscover our roots. I am so grateful to New Roots Coordinator Brooke Ray and farmer Samyan Raouf for showing me around.


Go to the Saturday market on Michie Drive 2-5pm!
