We Over Me Farm started out as the initiative of Paul Quinn College when they converted its football field into a farm.  This farm is used to provide "learning tool" for their students, of which 15% of their produce is donated.  This project has two goals.  First is "to transform the health and well-being of under-resourced communities in Southern Dalls by providing fresh, health, affordable food options."  Their other goal is to educate and empower future generations "to take better care of themselves, their environments, and their communities."  Some of their produce include shoots, microgreens, herbs, garlic, onions, leeks, radishes, turnips, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and okra.
