This October, Conuco Farm and Evolutionary Organics were struck by a devastating fire, losing a season’s worth of storage crops, farm equipment, and personal belongings. Conuco Farm is the Community Supported Agriculture farmer for Bed-Stuy Farm Share. They have driven fresh produce to Bed-Stuy each week for 5 years. The Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood is a food desert (aka a low access area) and really benefits from having access to community supported agriculture. We’ll be attending the dinner on Tuesday, December 14th, and would love to see you there, too!
