I know that the Evanston Food Exchange was advocating for a full implementation of the Edible Acre and I believe that they drafted a plan. Nevertheless, 12 years is nothing to sneeze at and, as the Alumni Association’s article makes clear, there has been steady growth over the years. In other words, there is still more room to grow. Based on my discussions with farm manager Matt Ryan in 2020-21, it sounds like the total acreage is currently about 1/7 of an acre.
This blog consists of three accounts of the birth and development of EAPP, accounts which confirm the eternal paradox of manifestation: Every such project requires an alignment of stars, but the alignment is always unique - to the geography, people, and circumstances.Īs this document makes clear, the Edible Acre is still in a pilot project stage - not yet a full acre. An article in the Fall 2021 newsletter ( The Kit) of the Evanston Township High School Alumni Association spurred me to reflect on the process of creating a community project, in this case the 12-year old Edible Acre Pilot Project, an urban agriculture project at ETHS.
