Farm Food Space Farm

Farm Food Space Farm, also known as The Garden Folks, builds community while teaching residents of East St. Louis about growing their own food. 

Kamina Loveless had been farming on the vacant property behind her childhood home for over 12 years. Previously, her father farmed this same land, providing fresh vegetables and eggs to his neighbors for decades. Kamina’s mission is to carry on from where her father left off, and grow fresh clean food for her community.
