In 2024, we lost our lease. We found a new space on a beautiful rooftop site in Bushwick, Brooklyn and are now taking on the challenge of building our new Farm, Education and Community Hub in Spring 2026. In the meantime, we have been operating out of two smaller spaces for most of 2025, which has greatly impacted our food production and education programs. Your generous tax-deductible donation directly supports the construction of our new rooftop headquarters and the expansion of our vital services in the face of growing food insecurity, including:

• Growing and distributing 25,000 lbs of fresh produce, freshwater fish, and ready to eat meals to Brooklyn residents.

• Teaching sustainable small-scale aquaponics production farming to 20,000 adults in person and online.

• Engaging 5,000 NYC school students in environmental education and stewardship through aquaponics.

• Creating paid training opportunities in farm entrepreneurship for young people between the ages of 18-25.  

• Gathering 5,000 community members in accessible culinary, nutrition, wellness, and arts education programming.
