You can still bring us your compost* during our open hours Sat and Sun 12:30 to dusk. *food scraps excluding dairy, animal, meat, fish products. Look in comments for link of other community gardens in the five boroughs that take compost.

I feel that this is a good use of farm funds...

We have to grow, because revolution is nothing other than perpetual change. - T. C. Garcia (1975), Lower East Side poet Local residents, like the garden...ers at Bowery-Houston Community Garden pictured above, began reclaiming plots of land as gardens in the 1970s. The act of taking over an abandoned lot was, and still is, an act of revolution and community self-determination.

It’s nearly summer out here in #brooklyn and the garden is planted.

The 2020 garden is coming along! Thanks to all of the volunteers who make this space possible!

Plant labels came in.

Great initiative at Libertad Urban Farm in the Bronx. And good example on how to farm while taking appropriate 'social distancing' measures:

Who wants to name one of our gorgeous Brooklyn raised chicks!?!? Join withfriends (link below), at the fowl feeder level, send us a photo of yourself (if you want) and we’ll make a portrait of you with the chicken of your choice. https://withfriends.co/bushwick_city_farms/join

Hi everyone! I hope you are all safe and well. If you can afford to, please support my gofundme (link in profile) so that we can build a new vegetable garden in... the neighborhood. Food pantries are overextended and accessing fresh produce is already an issue. Mayor DeBlasio warned that the number of food insecure NYers could double, to two million people. Building this garden will allow us to increase the amount of produce that is available locally, free of charge. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated, as this project is already underway! If you want more information about how the 462 Halsey crew is responding to the pandemic, please visit our website 462halsey.com and click on the Covid-19 Response tab. Thanks for your support and please stay safe. https://www.gofundme.com/f/bed-stuy-covid19-victory-garden
