Since 2007, Groundwork Milwaukee has been an organization in the city that is fundamental to the development of urban green spaces, urban farming and sustainability-focused programming for youth. During this time of crisis, their Urban Farm Program is the initiative that is changing lives by growing food and donating it to people in need.
Michelle Cannon of LarryVille Gardens
Michelle Cannon is the sole owner of LarryVille Gardens, living on her gorgeous 11.5-acre farm in Burlington Wisconsin. On any given day at the farm, you will see her two dogs running around the fields kicking up dirt behind them. Throughout the year, she relies heavily on summer and winter farmers markets which are now closed due to COVID. But she has adjusted her delivery methods and is currently delivering to the Fondy Food Center in Milwaukee and offering pick-up orders at the farm. The hardest part of all this, she says, is the community that she is unable to interact with. For her, the people she gets to meet and talk to are one of the most important parts of her farm.
You can contact Michelle to order produce at www.larryvillegardens.com.
