Born and raised on the Lower East Side, Ms. Abraham, 40, recalls visiting her family’s black farmstead in Alabama. She said: My grandfather grew row crops: cotton, soybeans and corn. He worked the fields. My grandma was home with a large vegetable garden and chickens. Put another way: My grandmother grew the food; he grew the money. And I think maybe the scale of what we do in the city relates more to this kitchen garden.
