Camp Washington Urban Farm
3220 Colerain Ave., facebook.com/cwurbanfarm
The folks at Camp Washington Urban Farm have been feeding their neighbors with the fresh produce grown here since 2012. A small army of about 300 volunteers a season plant, tend and harvest everything from tomatoes, peppers, squash, radishes and fruit trees to herbs, kale, spinach, cabbage and bok choy. Once harvested, fresh fruits, vegetables and greens are loaded onto a miniature teardrop Airstream trailer, hooked up to a tandem bicycle and carted around the neighborhood to be handed out for free. The cart, called Camp Washington Art and Mobile Produce (CAMP for short), is a partnership with Wave Pool and volunteers bring arts and crafts activities along with fresh produce. The farm aims to give away 1,500 pounds of produce every year. Farm Manager Aziza Love (also of local Hip Hop group Triiibe) is focused on building more opportunities for community members by hosting gardening and cooking classes as well as creating space for neighborhood events and live music.
