About The Farm:
Opal’s Farm, named after legendary community activist Opal Lee, who is in her nineties, had a dream of an urban farm providing farm-fresh, nutritious food for residents of the city. The five-acre urban farm sits east of downtown to address local food deserts and revitalize the health of local neighborhoods. Her desire to help those less fortunate find self-worth and purpose in an honest day’s labor for an honest wage is surpassed only by her desire for people to have access to healthy produce and nutritious food.
