“Happy Lot Farm and Garden: Growing a better tomorrow”
Happy Lot Farm and Garden is a testament to what one person with vision and will can accomplish. Once the site of a Section 8 housing complex, Happy Lot sat empty—an eyesore full of weeds and trash—for many long years. Having grown tired of looking at the rather sad lot, neighbor Andromeda Brooks decided in 2012 to take action and turn it int
o a happy lot, a place where neighbors could feel a sense of community, and most importantly, have access to healthy, organic food that they could grow themselves. Current features of the farm include many raised beds, spiral garden, trellis alley, raspberry patch, beehive, a diverse flock (turkeys, chickens, and ducks), greenhouse, orchard, and mural. The door is always open to anyone and everyone who wants to visit, learn about gardening, roll up their sleeves, or pick their own produce. Happy Lot is all about building community, beautifying our neighborhood, and growing great grub!

Would like to welcome our newest Intern Jordan Maxwell. She has committed herself to the The Farm for the next 5 Wednesdays. We couldn't be more excited for the contribution she and her family will bring to the property. Are you willing to do the same. Come from behind the keyboard and make real difference.
We started our partnership with Peter's Kettle Corn in 2015 and finally it's paid off for them. They went down to a residential green bin. Because of our efforts.
