Stories Shared by Jonathan Trimble and Robin Carraway

Sipp Culture Community Farm is a place of peace, team work, development, learning and growth. Located in Utica Ms on 17 acres of land with an 1800-square foot commercial greenhouse. Placed in the care of a three man team of farm workers this place is where the magic and the future of our nourishment for the Utica Community happens. 

The Greenhouse is the birthplace where the plants start from seeds and get that hand to soil nourishing care until they are ready to be planted out on the farm for further growth and development and then served to the community. The farm operation and workers provide ways and structure to educate growers on how to properly maintain the soil and the plant growing process to keep the flow rich and healthy. The team grows seedlings and transplants for several farms throughout the Mississippi Delta. 

Stop in on our team and get to know more great things that happen here on the land and meet two of our longest running farm workers Jonathan Trimble and Robin Carraway.

“I am Jonathan Trimble, Farm Apprentice Graduate. I entered a 18 month program with Sipp Culture learning about agriculture and farming. Let me remind you, I knew nothing about farming before signing up and entering the program. It taught me the values of farming and eating healthy and being sustainable to farming. In which I achieved and graduated from the program, which taught me all the skills of maintaining and growing crops. Now I have the knowledge to do my own farm in the near future, I can truly say I’ve learned a lot from Sipp Culture.”

Robin Carraway, retired Greenhouse and Property Manager stated, “It feels good to be back and help when I can because I feel like Sipp Culture is a good cause and I support them all the way. In every aspect of Sipp Culture’s visions and dreams, and to know that Carlton and Brandi makes it feel just like home.” 

Robin also mentioned, when she was an active employee of the Sipp Culture staff, people kept asking and wanting to know how to plant seeds and how they grow things. 

“I would like to start a program for and about seed planting in the near future,” she continued. “Could be a part of my retirement plan.” We both had a good laugh about that.
