Nestled on top of a hill off Minnehaha Avenue and Milton Street in St. Paul, Frogtown Farm grew and distributed some 7,000 pounds of food last year, most of it landing on the plates of low-income St. Paul residents through partnerships with charities such as Feeding Frogtown and the Sanneh Foundation. The garlic, zucchini, eggplants, beets, carrots, cabbages, tomatoes and herbs were plentiful. .
Back in 2009, Patricia Ohmans and fellow neighbors who formed Frogtown Green, were told by the city of St Paul they have the lowest percentage of tree canopy in the city, other than downtown.
