One of the most impressive sustainability operations in all of NYC is EAST NY Farms: they have a farmer's market, backyard gardens, a farm, a fair, music programs, youth programs, its incredible. And note the below from their blog. mm
Bill Moyer's Journal (Nov 28) included a great conversation with Michael Pollan about food systems and the way we eat. It also featured the East New York Farmers Market, our new urban farm, Hands and Heart Garden, and market gardeners James and Jeanette Ware. The link is here, http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11282008/watch2.html. The segment about East New York Farms! starts in the second minute of Part II, and continues til about 8min30sec. Watch til the end for some footage of our team of youth leaders harvest for the market!
