Sadiq Farms, the beginning...

Installing Boxes (2009)
Amongst the abandoned houses, broken pavement and busy streets, new life is emerging in the Walnut Park community.  Humanity First, has embarked on a project to bring good fruits and vegetables to the Walnut Park community.
Organic foods are at a premium and so is good health.  Two things that low-income neighborhoods have not been afforded.  In the Sadiq Organic Farm, sponsored by Humanity First, fresh organic fruits and vegetables will be made available to the community at a minimal cost.  Neighborhood families will be able to enjoy the benefits of a neighborhood organic garden “right down the street”, which will encourage a healthier lifestyle.
Sadiq Organic will provide physical benefits to the community, while adding a touch of beauty and tranquility. It will also be an educational resource to healthy eating and living.
As we till the earth, plant seeds for new life in the Sadiq Garden, so will the Walnut Park community benefit from the new harvest of fruits and vegetables from her new organic oasis.
