Tour the farm of community activist Opal Lee, a retired teacher and activist nicknamed the "Grandmother of Juneteenth" for her success in lobbying to make the Texas holiday recognized nationwide. For her work, Ms. Opal was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor.
Part of her legacy extends to education through her unique farm located in the Trinity River banks, which serve the local community, and teaches visitors of all ages about farming and ecology. This 1.5 hour tour with farm staff is a great way to learn more, see her legacy in action, and support the cause through your tickets.
All attendees ages 3+ must prebook tickets to participate in this experience. Contact support@delveexperiences.com with any questions.
Opal's Farm in Fort Worth is dedicated to providing farm-fresh, nutritious food in the neighborhood that has been federally declared a food desert. Your support of the farm also helps improve the quality of life for local residents.
"Everyone deserves to be fed and to eat healthy food. Unfortunately, that's rarely the case in many of our neighborhoods," says farm manager Greg Joel. "A lot of people don't know what it is to have fresh vegetables. The only choice they have is the convenience or dollar store down the street, and that's usually a small selection of highly processed junk food void of nutrients. We will provide healthy options and the education to use them."
