Overview
"Whitelock Community Farm is a resident supported urban farming effort in Reservoir Hill, Baltimore, Maryland. The goals of the Farm are to: pursue affordable sustainable fresh food sources, provide neighborhood job creation, and help revitalize the neighborhood through greening and positive community activity.....It all started when nine neighbors and a dog got together on an empty lot with a dream. Standing at the site one cold morning with a simple idea to better our community." (from website)
