Become a Campesinx
As a learning exchange, NSNP offers neighbors the opportunity to rent garden plots at our Las Parcelas garden to grow their own produce. Our Campesinxs are important ambassadors of and for a community that celebrates Puerto Rican, Afro-Caribbean, and broader Latinx cultures.
Campesinxs engage with Norris Square Neighborhood Project’s ½ acre of land by participating in workshops about planting, growing, and harvesting crops. We currently have 30+ Campesinxs.
