Subject
History
Urban Agriculture
Description
The Neighborhood Farm Initiative interviewed members of Washington, DC's growing urban agriculture community to document the history of growing food in the city.
Rashad was raised in Washington, DC in an Islamic household. Her mother cooked without processed foods giving her a sharp sense for fresh foods and superior taste. She began eating processed foods when she got to college, and then discovered in the 1980s that she had late-developing food allergies. She began gardening and producing her own fresh foods in 2011.
Rashad moved to historic Anacostia and discusses recent developments in that neighborhood in the interview.
