416 N Katy Street, Temple, Texas

This land is family-owned by our founder, Deonta Davis. For years, it sat vacant, becoming an unintended space for a homeless encampment, which unfortunately led to drug-related activities that frequently required intervention by the Temple Police Department.
-
Instead of allowing the land to remain a burden on the community, we are transforming it into a space of growth and nourishment, where residents can engage in productive, healthy, and sustainable farming.
-
This initiative will create a positive, thriving environment for all citizens to enjoy while making an impactful difference in addressing food insecurity.

This land was generously donated in-kind by Linda Weaver, who has given us a five-year commitment to use the space for urban farming.

This provides us with a unique opportunity to experiment with and refine our farming techniques, build expertise, and develop a strong curriculum that will serve as the backbone for future agricultural expansion.

Located close to the underserved communities we aim to impact, this location is a critical asset in making healthy food more accessible to those in need.
