For decades Curtis Bay has been known as a food desert. Neighbors in that area say the lack of grocery stores and other resources in the community, make it hard to survive, which is why many depend on a community garden.

Filbert Street Garden, located in Curtis Bay, is a one stop shop, where neighbors can get fresh produce, free Wi-Fi, and cuddles from a few furry friends.

“It really can’t be understated the food desert we’re in. It is a 40 minute walk over to the closest grocery store that is in Brooklyn Park over there…so the residents here, about two thirds of them, have cars and a third of them don’t. They’re very dependent on the corner stores here, which is like a 25% markup. Unfortunately, it’s very expensive being poor,” said Charles Debarber, Animal Husbandry.
