After a short trip and a nice conversation, we are the proud owners of two quarts of local oats and some helpful info on CSAs in the area. Not quite sure what we’re going to do with the oats, but I’m excited . . . → Read More: Building Community Through Food

To take advantage of the beautiful weather, a friend and I headed up (over?) to Red Fire Farm to pick some strawberries.

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.
