CHANGE BEGINS WITH WHAT WE EAT.

It has been said that food is a catalyst that brings people together; however the manner in which food is accessed and grown is not equitable. As one of many solutions to the issue, I wanted to create an opportunity for people to be empowered and equipped to face the issue themselves.

OUR STORY

Lillian Timber Farms is a Non Profit 501 C3 corporation established in 2019 as a response to food insecurity on the Northeast Side of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Founder LaTasha Timberlake returned to her neighborhood and hometown with the mission of uniting the community through gardening and teaching sustainable living practices.

The mother lot, “The Lottie Lot” located at 2125 N. Lottie OKC, OK 73111, was installed with community and corporate donations along with more than 50 hours of labor from community volunteers.

Watering the Lottie Lot each week was a beautiful way to stop, breath, and reflect on the progress of the year and the accomplishments of Lillian Timber Farms as an organization.

We participated in two spring planting work parties for Lillian Timber Farms in 2022. The events brought together people of all ages, backgrounds, and gardening knowledge for one common goal — to provide fresh fruits and vegetables for the surrounding communities. We enjoyed meeting new people and contributing to this worthy organization. We’re starting 2023 as foster parents for a pallet of beet seedlings, and we’re thrilled to continue supporting LaTasha and Lillian Timber Farms in the years ahead.

I love seeing the families and friends that share a common goal improving our communities and feeding others!
