Yesterday, we were thrilled to be joined by NYC Mayor's Office of Urban Agriculture & NYC Mayor's Office of Food Policy over on the TFFJ farm at the MLK, Jr. Educational Campus! Students led a tour of the farm, and cooked a delicious tomato soup with callaloo, basil, and tortellini, and individual flatbreads with basil gremolata.


Fantastic to visit the impressive #hydroponic program at MLK Jr. Educational Campus with Teens for Food Justice! Students are growing greens that go to the cafeteria & local food pantries. Thanks to Kathy Soll & the terrific TFFJ team for an inspiring visit & delicious lunch!
