Hi Market Farmers. 

 

Please consider helping your urban growing brethren. 

 

Warmly,

Sign the Petition to Save Brooklyn Rescue Mission's Farm!

In 2005, emergency food provider Brooklyn Rescue Mission partnered with
local organizations to20create an urban farm. They turned a vacant lot into
an edible Eden that provides freshly grown food to thousands of needy
Brooklynites. But the Brooklyn Rescue Mission, an emergency food pantry in
Bedford-Stuyvesant, could lose half of Bed-Stuy Farm - its 5,000-square-foot
facility on a long-neglected lot - if plans go through to build on it.

For more information, click here. They have an online petition here.
