FreshTable Gardens

This year, the Creator has invited me to embrace a new mantra. 

My life is a canvas and I am the artist 
I create the lifestyle I want to live and I take responsibility for what I create

This mantra is how I manifest a life filled with experiences that lead to self-mastery, rewarding relationships, timeless love and meaningful contributions to Earth.

How do you bring things you want into your reality?

How do you create the world you want to live in?

Currently, OurSpace is creating a world where Black folks can grow food for ourselves and work cooperatively with each other. The Ujima Jams are an entry point into this world. 

We hosted a Ujima Jam at FreshTable Gardens to celebrate Earth Day (eve). FreshTable Gardens is an African American, woman-owned and operated farm. The farm is located on 15 acres of land in Upper Marlboro, MD. Farmer Vicky’s mission is to cultivate and produce organic food and herbs that nourish her and her community.
​
Farmer Vicky can co-create what her heart desires on these 15-acres. Her current goal is to create three distinctive growing spaces on the farm. During this Jam, we helped with preparing one of the growing spaces. We tilled and placed wood chips around the high tunnel. ​

We also explored the 15 acres with Farmer Vicky and met Ray Parker who is the founder of The Educated Horsemen. After our exploration, we enjoyed some delicious food and drinks made by the Farm 2 Food Sovereignty Academy, Chef Shawn and Farmer Vicky. This Jam was a beautiful reflection of intergenerational support and community building.

Thank you Farmer Vicky for reminding us it's never too late to create a fulfilling life on Earth.
