One of the largest urban farms in Virginia is sprouting just a cabbage-throw away from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond. Shalom Farms is growing food in the heart of the city’s Northside on five acres of the seminary’s Westwood Tract. It’s the second farm for Shalom, whose mission is to work with communities to ensure access to healthy food and provide support to lead healthy lives. Its executive director Dominic Barrett sat down with our alumnus Nelson Reveley to explain his vision for Shalom Farms at Union Seminary and why it matters, in our Union matters! podcast.
