<p><strong>Q: What was the inspiration for your farming?</strong><br />
A: Cooking, eating,children, sovereignty and independence, social and financial. I am inspired by the agricultural fortitude & contributions of African Americans. My maternal grandfather, who was a down-home, chitlin'-eating, shit-kicking, loud-cussing, boot-wearing, hardworking, cowboy, hunter, fisherman and farmer, inspires me. He taught me to appreciate the gifts of nature. My two great aunts, Alma & Luetha Gresham, who lived on a large homestead outside of Henryetta, OK that I frequented as a child taught me the meaning of independence and the importance of food.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What are your values?</strong><br />
A: Commitment to farming with respect to the restraints of ecological systems<br />
Decisions are made with knowledge of their ecological impacts<br />
Farm systems respect the requirements of nature, the family and personal values and goals<br />
Create farming goals respect the environment, community, education, quality of life, a liveable wage and net profit<br />
Commitment to farming as a way of life not simply a way to make a living<br />
Commitment to sustainability, regeneration of rural communities, soil and the value genetic diversity<br />
Respect of the ethological needs of all livestock<br />
Love and respect for nature & soil<br />
Love and respect for hard work & entrepreneurialism<br />
Create positive net worth for financial legacy</p>
<p><strong>Q: Why "Five Seeds"? </strong><br />
A: My wife and I decided to name our farm after our 5 wonderful children ; we do this for them.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What happens to the food you grow?</strong><br />
A: We grow food for people who eat. Our sales outlets include farmers markets, local restaurants and a CSA. Our CSA of 40 shares has grown over the past 5 years from the humble number of 5! Our honey gets harvested twice a year depending on the season's flow and is very popular until it sells out (which is quickly)! </p>
<p><strong> Q: What inspires what you grow? </strong><br />
A: Denzel spent more than a dozen years in the back of many kitchens and truly enjoys working closely with chefs to accommodate their desire for excellent product. We are a family of "foodies"! We really enjoy raising interesting vegetables that are difficult to find at the farmers market or in the grocery story. We read the recipe books of days past to inspire our future. We leap in excitement over Fish peppers, Black Palm Tree kale, Finocchio, Jacob's Cattle beans, Paul Robeson (Black) tomatoes, red scallions, Paw paws and Green Striped Cushaw pumpkins; to name a few. We actively seek heirloom varieties for taste, appearance and pest resistance. We are inspired by Michael Twitty's list of Chesapeake Bay African-American heritage crops and their stories. We are ecstatic to support local businesses like Woodberry Kitchen in their exemplary efforts to support local agriculture, Maryland's cultural legacy and us!</p>
<p><strong>Q: Where is you farm located?</strong><br />
A: We were a “multi-plot” urban farm in Baltimore City. We have operated up to 5 sites in various ’hoods in Charm City including Belair-Edison, Greater Greenmount, Roland Park and Park Heights. In late 2011, the home farm & farmer's home moved to Sparks, MD to support a growing family and growing demand. We now have 2 farms; one .5 acre plot in the city and a 4.5 acre farm in northern Baltimore county.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Are you guys organic?</strong><br />
A: We are not certified organic. However, because we are concerned with the health of ourselves, the children, the community, the bay and our ecosystems we do not use synthetic chemicals of any type to grow food. We employ sustainable practices to produce the most nutrient dense and high quality food. We use a variety of cover crops to maintain the land's fertility, hold moisture, reduce weed pressure and increase the health of the soil. We practice crop rotations and on-farm composting of crop residues. We allow our animals to graze & forage on spent beds to mitigate pests, replace nutrients and reinvigorate biological activity. We will apply for organic certification in the coming years but remain committed to using biodegradable mulch which is not yet approved by the USDA so we will not be certified until it's use is approved.</p>
<p><strong>Q: What do you grow?</strong><br />
A: We grow a wide variety (over 40 types) of fruits, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, small fruits and tree fruit. We choose heirloom and hybridized varieties that are interesting, disease and pest resistant and delicious. Some of our most popular crops are scallions, head lettuce, baby ginger, Fish peppers, head lettuce, Treviso radicchio and our variable and delicious salad mix. We have a small orchard on the city site and will have peaches and figs to offer at our farmers market this year.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you accept SNAP/EBT (food stamps), WIC & FMNP vouchers?</strong><br />
A: Yes!</p>
<p><strong>Q: Are you willing to barter?</strong><br />
A: Yes! Just ask.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you have honey?</strong><br />
A: Our honey is harvested at least once a year (but often twice) and we consider it to be one of our most precious commodities. We have a small apiary and practice apiculture in a manner that is ecologically balanced (read: we leave a lot of honey for our bees to avoid feeding them sugar in the winter but will feed if their stores are low) thus our harvests are small. We manage our hives without chemicals. We sell our honey until it is gone which usually happens quite often and in a matter of a few weeks from harvest. You can find our honey unpasteurized, filtered and bottled at Milk & Honey Market, Artifact Coffee and other stores, and in the coffee and cocktails at Woodberry Kitchen both in Baltimore City. Look for our our "Spring Fling" in May and our "Summer Love" late-July to early-August.</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do you have eggs?</strong><br />
A: Yes!</p>
<p><strong>Q: What benefits do CSA and Farm Share members receive?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>CSA members are will receive 22-24 weeks of freshly harvested, naturally grown, nutrient-dense produce by hands that you can shake, touch & kiss (June through November)</li>
<li>Our CSA members receive 1 jar of our exclusive “Summer Love” honey</li>
<li>Unbelievable prices on a cornucopia of thoughtfully grown fruits, vegetables & herbs</li>
<li>A weekly email with a list of what's in your box, stories, updates from the farm, cooking & storage tips, seasonal advice & recipes from our collection of favorites</li>
<li>The satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to your local economy, supporting a farming family, maintaining urban and rural farmland & preserving heirloom seed varieties</li>
<li>Doing your part to clean & restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Q: How do CSA or Farm Share members benefit a farmer?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Farmers receive much-needed cash for planting and planning for the growing season in the winter and early spring when those funds are in high demand.</li>
<li>Receive a fair price for farm products.</li>
<li>Share the risk and bounty of farming.</li>
<li>The satisfaction of working within the local economy, providing fresh, healthful food to many Baltimore area families, contributing to the overall well-being of the local metropolitan population.</li>
