A Farm in Danger: Help Save Bed-Stuy Farm by Leslie Hatfield, originally posted on The Green Fork In one Brooklyn community, neighborhood residents are fighting to keep their farm. Bed-Stuy Farm, once a neighborhood garbage dump, was transformed into an urban oasis that produces over 7,000 lbs of fresh food every year, helping feed more than 4,000 people a month through the Brooklyn Rescue Mission. The Farm is a source of community pride that has inspired neighborhood greening, backyard food gardening and food pantry agriculture projects.  It is a constant reminder to residents that better nutrition and healthy eating are within our grasp. Now, though, the project is threatened by development. Check out the post Kerry Trueman wrote about it back in August to learn more and help save the Bed-Stuy Farm by signing this petition.
