2024 Community Impact Timeline

Southside Community Farm presents our Community Impact Timeline.

We created this series of blogs for you, our friends and dear allies, as a free and accessible resource for all. 

We’ve condensed the best of our news coverage, press releases, relevant official documents, annual reports, and stories of community engagement right here in this easily digestible overview.

This timeline charts the history that brought us here, the history we’ve made so far, and the history we will continue to make with you.

Part 1 | Southside behind the Red Line

Part 2 | Resilience in the Face of Food Apartheid

Part 3 | New Growth and Sharing the Bounty

**Special Feature on Our Youth Program**

Over the course of the Timeline, you’ll learn more about:

  • how redlining and systematic resource divestment historically changed Southside into a “slum”
  • the food apartheid that prompted our community elders to start their own journey to Black food sovereignty
  • our programs, partnerships, and solidarity with the BIPOC land stewardship movement happening nationwide 
  • how to support and stand with Southside Community Farm
