Sunday, October 30th: we’re open!

Come up to our market, 10am-4pm, to enjoy the hot peppers, kale, radishes, salad greens, fresh herbs and more that we’ve harvested fresh from out under the surprise snowstorm!

We’re cleaning up for wintertime–preparing the chickens, emptying out the compost–lend a hand and green your thumb!

Sunday, October 30th: Last Market until Thanksgiving!

annie — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:36:45 +0000

This Sunday from 10am-4pm is our last market and volunteer day until Sunday, November 2oth (our pre-Thanksgiving market). Join us on the rooftop for a sowing of the cover crops, moving the chicken coop, finishing up the compost application from a season’s worth of gathering food scraps, and at 2pm, a free conversation reviewing all the ups and downs of 2011’s growing season. It’s almost Halloween: come in costume to receive a special treat!

This Sunday Market, Photoextravaganza!

Memories! Preserve them in photos, as we preserve our peppers in hot sauce. This Sunday, our 10am-4pm market is special-guested by Third Ward’s photo safari program. Sign up for the 2-5p class here.

Open House NY Rooftop (in Russian!)

annie — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:54:17 +0000

We hosted Open House New York this past weekend to a tune of about 200 new visitors in one busy morning. A real treat! To see more of the event, check out Channel One Russia’s coverage. This excerpt below made us smile:

Those wishing to observe the changing face of agriculture formed a long line to the roof. Right on top of an urban high-rise was a farm with vegetable beds. There, tomatoes, peppers, dill, and parsley grow on a commercial scale. Many NY locals had no idea they had neighbors like this. Once a year, they become tourists in their own city, discovering that the miraculous is right next door.

Желающие проследить за переменами в сельском хозяйстве выстраиваются в длинную очередь на крышу. Прямо на городской высотке – ферма с грядками. На них в промышленных масштабах выращивают помидоры, перец, укроп и петрушку. О таком соседстве многие местные жители даже и не догадывались. Раз в год они становятся туристами в собственном городе, обнаруживая, что удивительное рядом.
