Founded beside the former Hollygrove Market & Farm, Schmelly’s transforms New Orleans’ food scraps into healthy soil while fostering meaningful, uplifting, living-wage jobs. Their vision is to work together to examine and dismantle social constructs of oppression such as racism, patriarchy, and the gender binary by building the capacity of co-workers to communicate across differences in a democratic work environment.
