IMAGINE A vibrant community space where families gather over fresh, healthy food, young farmers blossom, and the air hums with generational wealth. That's what we're building at Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm, a Black-owned haven in the heart of Baltimore. We strive toward generational wealth because it can empower families to thrive for generations, unlocking opportunities and breaking cycles of poverty.
We're more than just rows of fruits and vegetables; we're training beginner farmers and providing resources to legacy farmers by addressing the issue of food desserts and creating food security. Our neighbors have access to cleaner greener foods by nourishing themselves from the ground up.
Farmer Chippy
OUR LOVING FOUNDER
Heeyy, I’m Farmer Chippy! My dream was to create an AgriHood, in the City of Baltimore that spreads love, supports the community, and brings healthy food to surrounding cities!
As a Biomedical Field Service Engineer, my travels took me to amazing places with fun people and great food. But, the daily experiences in hospitals, clinics and urgent care facilities, continued to be disturbing.
As much as I was interested in being part of a team that provides solutions to the healthcare industry, I had a burning desire to explore options that promoted a healthier quality of life for our youngest citizens.
Throughout my career, I have worked to promote a Preventative Healthcare solution to improve my community. One of the Physicians I worked closely with, while servicing his surgical microscope, said to me “the greatest hindrance to clinical science is the inability for clinicians to embrace innovations that brings cleaner foods to patients.”
I hope to be the (Engineer/Farmer) that popularizes the benefits of conventional medicine while exploring potential new research that brings Cleaner Greener Foods closer to lesser fortunate communities in Baltimore.
