While the history of Southside can be viewed through a lens of oppression and tragedy, we believe in celebrating the resilience of our people through abundance, connection and the healing power of good food.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50247\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50247\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50247\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore-810x455.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/P2P_-Southside-Farm-Photo-by-Chloe-Moore-1140x640.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-50247\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Chloe Moore<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Founded in 2014, SCF exists on a .36-acre urban plot used to sustainably grow a variety of organic vegetables, fruits and herbs based in traditional African and American knowledge. The farm consists of row crops, raised beds, fruit trees, a pavilion meeting space, a seed library as a way to support neighborhood home gardens and a water-saving rain garden. This year, SCF will be working to expand its free grocery program to include an outdoor fridge and pantry space that will offer staple foods from the farm along with produce from other local, BIPOC producers.<\/p>\n<p>In its eighth growing season, the farm now features a .1-acre apple orchard that will soon incorporate the beginnings of a food forest including berries, culinary herbs and medicinal plants. SCF is currently fundraising to purchase tools, supplies, plant starts and program support. \u201cWith additional funding, we will be able to offer workshops and free herbal medicine distribution,\u201d Moore says. \u201cIt\u2019s important that we celebrate the legacy of African American folk traditions by growing medicinal plants. We want to focus on the health needs of community, including immune support, eldercare, childcare, nervous system support and basic first aid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A successful fundraiser for SCF means more climate resilience and support for local BIPOC vendors at SCF\u2019s monthly farmers market.<\/p>\n<p><em>Southside Community Farm is located at 133 Livingston Street in Asheville.
