I'm keeping track of the Maga farms entering foreclosed in the South and midwest.

I will buy their homes and land for pennies on the dollar.

Other Black Men and Women should do the same.

#Georgia [USA] - ‘Without Walls’ Farmers Market makes debut in #GardenCityGA

By Brontë Sorotsky
Published: Jul. 26, 2025

GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - "A new initiative to help #LowerIncome families buy #HealthyFood and make smart choices kicked off Saturday in Garden City.

" '#FeedTheHungry' is meeting people where they’re at to make the community as a whole healthier.

"From #okra to #nectarines, a new farmer’s market in Garden City has no shortage of healthy options. The idea for this farmer’s market came from a lack of resources when it comes to fresh foods.

" 'Trying to address #FoodDeserts in this community. And what does a #FoodDesert mean? That means limited access to fresh food,' said Charice Stroud, a volunteer with Feed the Hungry.

"Stroud is working alongside state representative Carl Gilliard to increase that access with the start of the first '#WithoutWalls' #FarmersMarket.

"On Saturday, this new farmer market kicked off with #pickling demonstrations, fresh juice making, farmer’s selling #LocalProduce, and more.

" 'It builds a healthier community, right? That’s our overall goal,' Stroud explained.

"Feed the hungry is partnering with #AgraUnity, a coalition of #BlackFarmers that focuses on supplying the food deserts In #WestChathamCounty.

"Those local farmers will be selling their products, allowing people in the community to access farm to table food at a more affordable price.

" 'We want to empower people. And a part of that is your health, what you’re consuming each and every day. So, you can come in and get some good ideas for what to bring back to your home and your family,' Stroud said.

"The 'Without Walls' Farmers Market will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4704 Augusta Road in Garden City."

"Before Patrick Brown was born, his father Arthur lay down on a road near the family’s farm to prevent a caravan of yellow dump trucks from depositing toxic soil in his community."

Today Brown advocates for farmers of color and food equity, and practices generative farming. #BHM #BlackLivesMatter #BlackMastodon #Blackfarmers

In large part due to the systemic discrimination, the number of Black farmers in the U.S. has fallen precipitously over the last century."
