#ChicagoHeights '#ZFarm' helping #UrbanGrowersCollective battle #FoodInsecurity
'We're encouraging everybody to join us to grow 10% of your own food'
By Cheryl Scott and Blanca Rios, Thursday, June 19, 2025
CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (WLS) -- "Protecting the planet can start with the food you put on the table.
" 'Just thinking about how many miles it took for that tomato to come to your plate and all the energy that is consumed along the way for that tomato, that in the end, doesn't really taste that good,' said Ericka Allen.
"Allen is the CEO of Urban Growers Collective. The Black and women-led nonprofit helps to provide locally-grown food to the South and West sides of the city, through its seven urban farms.
"But #UGC's footprint just got a whole lot bigger after acquiring access to a 42-acre farm in south suburban Chicago Heights. About 30 of those acres are arable land, said Allen.
" 'This is a farm that we're calling Z-farm, formerly the Zeldenrust Farm,' said Allen. 'Now we can spread out here and grow so much more food and also create more food security, with food coming back into the city. So we're not relying on having to ship food from across the country.'
"One seed at a time, UGC will start growing everything from collard greens to pumpkins on just five of Z-farm's acres for the first couple of years. The rest of the land will be covered with black-seeded sunflowers come harvest time.
"And for the first time, they now have access to heated hoop houses.
" 'For us to have a little bit of heat means we can extend those tomatoes all the way through Christmas, all the way into the new year. That means that we can start peas in January,' said Allen.
"UGC is also making sure future generations learn to grow their own food.
" 'We're teaching, basic skills. Transplanting to seeding, to harvesting, and eventually going to sell it to the community,' said Urban Growers Collective Director of Farming Malcolm Evans.
"Evans, a Chicago native, trains interns, staffers, and community members, some who don't have easy access to grocery stores.
" 'A lot of these are #FoodDesert neighborhoods,' said Evans. 'A lot of these communities don't have access to healthy foods and don't have food affordable to them so they have to travel miles away.'
"But UGC is hoping to change that narrative.
" 'We're encouraging everybody to join us to grow 10% of your own food, to purchase 10% of your own food, to make a positive impact on #ClimateChange, and just to have a more secure food shed.'
"Even if that means getting a little extra help from a neighbor.
" 'If somebody's growing a ton of zucchini down the street and they want to give you some zucchini, take that zucchini, make five things out of it. That's #FoodSecurity,' said Allen.
"Aspiring gardeners can stop by the Z-Farm's onsite nursery every weekend to purchase seedlings to grow at home.
"And come harvest time, people can drive up to the curbside farmstand to purchase vegetables."

:black_sparkling_heart: #Introduction #Intro
TL:DR: I'm mostly posting this intro to connect with other Black and BIPOC Anarchists or Anti-authoritarians. Hit me up! :Fire_Panafrican:
Hey, everyone
My partner and I are currently working on a docuseries, @Elememts_of_MA, about the origins, structures, healing ways, and logistics of mutual aid-based organizing. The project isn't exclusively profiling anarchist groups, but it is deeply anti-authoritarian - we're especially staying away from charismatic leaders and celeb "activist" types.
The whole thing is independent - no producers; everything is out of pocket. We've been living out of a van we converted so we could make this happen; which has been amazing. We've been on the road since May Day this year, and have already filmed some solid interviews as far north as Montreal and as far south as Puerto Rico.
However, I'm personally struggling to find Black organizations or collectives that aren't MLM, AADOS, authoritarian, Black Capitalist, nonprofit style groups. Reading and theory groups or media collectives are rad, but I'm really looking for groups that're doing interesting work on the ground (*not food distro*) from an anti-state-nationalist analysis.
Lorenzo and JoNina Irvin will appear in the film, among other radical Black people like Jessica Gordon Nembhard, The Northeast Action Collective in Houston, and Arm the Girls in Oakland. So, I'm not at a complete loss.
But, please send me all the rad groups of Black people you know that are creating long-term, democratic, mutual aid projects in their communities. They do not need to identify as anarchist, but they *cannot* be down with the nation state and have to be doing more than food distro.
Thanks a ton, y'all.
Beyond all that, I'm also really interested in connecting with people to write Star Wars analysis and fan-fiction. I think the galaxy far, far away is an interesting canvas to explore the tensions of autonomous world building vs authoritarian revolutionary movements. If I lived in that universe, I'd no doubt be getting into arguments with the Rebel Alliance.
Thanks for reading this long-winded post.

Cucamelon Refrigerator Pickles are fast and easy to make: 30 minutes prep and 2 weeks in the fridge result in delicious, bite-sized pickles.
The Cucamelon (Melothria scabra) is an annual vine in the Cucurbitaceae plant family that includes cucumbers, melons, and squash. Cucamelons are known by numerous names including Mexican sour gherkin, mouse melon, and in their native Central America, *sandita,* which means “little watermelon.” Cucamelons taste like a cross between cucumber and lime.
My recipe is based on my Father's original recipe that I learned as a child; I adapted it for cucamelons and published it first in 2016, and then again in 2017.
