Greetings #NoShade Campaign Supporters,
So much has happened since our last update. The biggest news is that Urban Tilth may be able to put forward a counteroffer for The Nabeta Farm property in order to preserve, honour and grow the Nabeta Family Farm’s history while increasing our ability to connect the families of North Richmond with whole healthy foods. This vision includes possibly partnering with the amazing organizations of the Richmond Our Power Coalition to steward the land and create new green, sustainable cooperative enterprises that would employ and serve this community.
At this point, it is only a possibility that depends on Urban Tilth securing the funds necessary to make the counteroffer and on the developer stepping back from their option to purchase the land.
Right now with our hearts and minds open, we are scrambling to assemble the capital needed to offer a real alternative to development that does not help local residents.
Contribute to the Nabeta Farm Acquisition Fund!
