Excerpt:

Antajaun Adams loves to paint a picture of what his urban farm in north St. Louis looks like in its most active growing season.

“I love sunflowers,” Adams said. “So imagine lots of sunflowers, the sun shining, hearing chickens in the distance, lots of kids running around, people talking about different things around animal husbandry and regenerative agriculture.”

Adams is the owner and co-director of New Roots Urban Farm. The farm’s mission is to reclaim urban areas and create a community rooted in sustainable food. It grows over 50 different fruits and vegetables — including a few of Adams’ favorites: carrots, radishes, collard and mustard greens.

Recently, the farm signed a nine-year lease for 1.65 acres to make land more accessible to farmers.

Along with fresh produce, the farm provides aspiring or beginner farmers with knowledge, resources and tools for running their own farms.

New Roots Urban Farm got its start in 2004 and initially provided free fresh produce. Adams took ownership of the farm 13 years ago and said he plans to start charging for fruits and vegetables for people who can afford it. Low- and moderate-income people will continue to receive free produce.
