Link in bio 🎥 Repost from @billy_penn • 🗣 Billy Penn is pleased to present CravePhilly, a video and story series by Hope Cohen about the people who create food, restaurants, and agriculture in the Philadelphia region. 🌱 Christa Barfield is the “100% organically dope” force behind FarmerJawn. A rising voice in Philadelphia’s urban farming scene, her focus lies at the intersection of education, environmental science, and food justice. 🎉 Leaving behind the corporate job, she rededicated her life to the land, and to addressing food insecurity in her community. 🪴 Starting two years ago with a 4-by-6-foot plot, Christa grew a farm, a locally-sourced tea company, a plant boutique, and a CSA (community supported agriculture program). 💪🏾 Last summer she expanded. Initially, FarmerJawn’s CSA provided weekly produce for 10 individuals; now it serves more than 60 member families. In addition, Christa offers free and subsidized memberships for Philadelphians who need them. 🥬🥕🌽🥦🍆 Check out the full story and video: 🔗 in bio! 📸 provided by @farmerjawnphilly @icravephilly #billypenngram #cravephilly #farmerjawnphilly #billypenncravesphilly #foodinphilly #icravephilly #hopecohen #fooddeserts #foodinsecurity @icravephilly @billy_penn (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1GAdaDWKy/?igshid=18tunxl7mswmu
