The Farm at Walker Jones, located in Washington, DC, was an urban farm that aimed to empower students and their families through growing and eating their own food. However, despite the groundswell of community support and successful events like the Community Action Day, the farm faced challenges due to lack of communication and support from various government officials and school administrators. As a result, the farm was unable to purchase seeds, plant crops, and carry out necessary tasks to maintain its organic designation.
Although there was talk of relocating the farm, the possibility of construction and development at the current site meant that it could take 12 to 18 months before any action was taken. In the meantime, the farm called for a massive Community Action Day to prepare for the upcoming season and strengthen its role as a community hub. Despite the challenges faced, the farm aimed to provide unique opportunities for students to learn about agriculture and food justice.
