Commissioner Marvin S. Arrington Jr. hosted Harvest Day at a GROWKulture Urban Farm. Hear more from aGROWKulture Urban Farm Quentin Johnson. We're in the middle of southwest Atlanta, and we grow and teach for the community. We have a one acre lot where we have livestock like chicken and ducks. We have farm rabbits and of course some dogs. We grow different types of greens and everything. Community gardens are important because we do live in what they call a food desert. Most of our food that we have is heavily processed or is a fast food product that really doesn't nourish us like we need nourishment. So having fresh homegrown food is one of the ways to combat a food desert. Most of these food deserts are in urban settings. We are in an urban setting, and this is a place where we can contribute to the solution.
