Just north of Highway 96, on the north side of Wichita, lies a 40-acre oasis — Pearson’s Family Farms. What their parents began in 1968 as a way to feed a growing family of 12 is now an urban farm entrusted to siblings Donna Pearson McClish and David Pearson. And they’re using their family’s farming heritage and skills to educate the minds and nourish the spirits and bodies of their Wichita neighbors through the Common Ground Mobile Market and Mobile Food Hub.
David and Donna are the first siblings and first African Americans named as Kansas Master Farmer and Master Farm Homemaker and they join the class of 2022. Watch their story here.
