East New York Farms! is a collaborative project whose mission is to organize youth and adult residents to address food issues in our community by promoting local and regional sustainable agriculture and community-based economic development. Together, we grow food for the community, engage youth in hands-on agricultural learning and leadership training, develop economic opportunities for regional farmers, local gardeners, and other small entrepreneurs through a neighborhood farmers’ market; preserve community gardens as open space; and educate residents about healthy food and healthy environments. The project is a partnership between local residents, regional family farmers, United Community Centers, and educational institutions (the Pratt Institute for Community Development and Cornell University Cooperative Extension). Visit us online at eastnewyorkfarms.org.
