A Farm Grows in Brooklyn


January 28th, 2010 in Blog Home Tags: , , No Comments

From the heart of Brooklyn comes Eat Well Guide’s latest video: Learn how a community in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is fighting to keep their farm, a former neighborhood garbage dump that they’ve transformed into an urban oasis producing over 7,000 lbs of fresh food every year, and helping to feed more than 4,000 people a month through the Brooklyn Rescue Mission. The residents are in danger of losing it to development, and the video speaks beautifully to the value of the Farm and points visitors to a petition to save it. Help spread the word!
