Spontaneous invitation to TeensforFoodJustice public school hydroponic farm on the UWS โ€” compelling enough to drop everything go! Shout out to Senior Farmer-Educator Alyssa for showing Kaliris Salas-Ramirez, PhD & myself around. We learned a bunch & each walked away with a fresh 1+ pound cucumber.๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿฅ’

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.
