“There’s a lot of historical and structural harm that our communities have experienced in this space. We want to offer them a place to talk about it, reflect on it, to process it and to name it.”
Inspired by grandparents and family members in rural Arkansas, Jasmyn Story decided to create something similar in Alabama: A communal space that offers nourishment, education and healing.
“The pandemic really impacted me heavily as someone who is chronically ill,” Story said. “I really started to think about what I wanted my gift and legacy in this space that I love so much, the communities I love so much—what do I actually want that to look like?” “That lifestyle and her traditional knowledge—her ability to take care of animals with really an elementary school education—I not only respect it, but it also seems like a really crucial knowledge to hold in the times we’re in right now,” Story said.
Right now, the team is working to clear the land, and hope to plant a variety of fruits and vegetables. “There’s a lot of historical and structural harm that our communities have experienced in this space,” Story said. “We want to offer them a place to talk about it, reflect on it, to process it and to name it.”
