A St. Louis farmer wants more north city residents to grow their own food

Tosha Phonix loves tropical fruits, and this growing season, she hopes to grow some successfully at her St. Louis farm.

While figuring out how to create the perfect climate for a mango tree, Phoenix will also be encouraging her fellow north city residents to grow their own food through her new zine, “A Guide to Black Farming in North St. Louis.”

The mini-publication is also meant to connect people to local farmers.
