One aspect of visiting the House of Umoja that we found very profound was their idea for tackling an Urban Farming Academy. In order to fully pursue this new project, Queen
Mother Falaka Fattah and her fellow employees need to make one major thing happen. Rightnow, on Frazier street, where House of Umoja owns much ofthe real estate, is onevery large empty, overgrown area of grass. Queen Mother and her head farmer Antonio Colone want to cultivate this larger area and turn it into farming plots to get a jumpstart with their Farming Academy. The House of Umoja wants to bring a change to all of Philadelphia with this program not just Carroll Park. Queen Mother and Antonio Colone feel that farming can bring aboutgreater health awareness for the city aswell as bring a sense of pride to people asthey eat something they themselves grew.
