Thank you, Linda! thefoodproject.org Dear Friends of the Food Project,

When I came on board as Executive Director in January of this year, I thought that I knew what I was getting into. I’d been both a supporter of the organization and a parent of a youth participant – my eldest daughter spent her high school years on The Food Project’s farms. It changed her life, as it does for so many of our young people.

What I was not prepared for was the impact of seeing The Food Project from the inside: getting to know our passionate, mission-driven staff and Board of Trustees, spending time with our youth, hearing their stories and watching them grow. It’s seeing all the work that our farmers do before even one seedling goes into the ground and the mind-boggling logistics required to distribute our fresh healthy food to vulnerable families. I am honored and humbled to be leading this incredible organization.

I am truly thrilled to be a part of The Food Project. Our work with youth and communities brings people of diverse backgrounds together to learn, grow, and build a just and sustainable food system that is accessible to all. Having a safe space to dig deeply into issues of race and economic inequity and understand the impact of those factors on a personal level is so important if we hope to see lasting change.

With the support of all of you and the entire Food Project community, my team and I look forward to continuing to sow seeds, empower youth, and grow together.

bidding a fond farewell to munroe street farm If you were in the Munroe Street area in downtown Lynn in the summertime and smelled basil, your nose would lead you to The Food Project’s farm. In partnership with a generous landowner, we planted and tended fruits, vegetables and flowers on the Munroe Street lot for nine years. Our partner sold the land, and it is currently being developed. Though we miss the Munroe Street Farm (our office is still right up the street), we are grateful for years of incredible memories. We are also really excited to be in conversation with local officials and property owners about new spaces in the downtown area where our youth and neighbors can grow food and build community.

he dudley street neighborhood initiative (dsni) is a barrier-breaking, community-based, planning group formed in 1984 to revitalize the Dudley neighborhood after decades of disinvestment, arson, and the proliferation of empty lots. DSNI was the first community organization in the country to win the right of eminent domain. They acquired vacant lots for the Dudley Neighbors Inc. Land Trust and, through that, put a total of 30 acres of land under community control. “The whole intent behind a Community Land Trust model is to allow the community to have a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation over what happens in these sites,” said Tony Hernandez, the director of Dudley Neighbors Incorporated.

The relationship between The Food Project neighborhood — many of whom are and DNSI spans decades.
