Thank you for the nice write-up! Sankofa World Market is a fantastic weekly meeting place, building community and connecting Providence residents from around the world with healthy, affordable foods that reflect our community's cultural richness. A correction: Sankofa Community Farm already operates more than 30 community garden plots on 10,000+ square feet of formerly vacant lots in the West End, with 16,000+ more square feet of farm space to be developed in the next year right next to the Sankofa Apartments affordable housing development (being built now!). The housing development reflects $15M of investment in creating a healthy and unique urban agricultural community here in Providence. The farm will total nearly 30,000 square feet total in the next year!
