Sunday Market October 9th
Hot peppers, how we love ye. The sweet flesh, the sharp bite, the deliciously high nutrient content of a deeply healthy food. Oh, and the colors match what the world is about to do to celebrate fall.

Sweet Visitors at Eagle Street’s Hives
This week we had the pleasure of two sweet things: in the early hours of Sunday, Meg Paska harvested our first fall frames from her top bar hive at Eagle Street Rooftop Farm–and later in the day, Michael Leung of Hong Kong Honey came by for a visit.

Farm CLOSED for Labor Day
