One of the things that gives us hope during this pandemic is witnessing the extraordinary networks of care and support cultivated by our neighbors. While there is a great deal of uncertainty about the coming weeks and months, these community-based networks have helped communities across New York and beyond deal with more daily necessities like food, medecine, or simply keeping in touch with neighbors. We hope to join these inspiring efforts by utilizing our productive growing space and our dedicated and knowledgeable farm team to provide food for our community. 

Beyond the burden placed on our health and well-being, this crisis has also produced a great shock in our economy, with many families struggling to find income. On top of this, many supply chains have been disrupted, making it difficult for the farms which normally feed our city to distribute their food. As a result there is an growing need for food assistance, and we hope to respond to that need by producing as much as we can, and working to share it with our neighbors.
