Welcome to our adventures in urban farming in NYC! What began as an experiment with growing a few veggies in the Bronx has become a great success for our Bridge clients and community. This is an online record of our experiences on the farm, written by Stacey Van Rossum, with photos taken by Natalie Brickajlik, the Coordinator of our Horticulture Program. Thanks to funding from Burpee and The United Way of New York, our program was made possible!

We are waiting for Spring
The season is over. So far two major snow storms have hit the Tri-State area and our gardens are covered with 1-2 feet of snow. We kept busy in November and December. We cooked a few vegetarian dishes like baked kale chips, baked sweet potato fries, and vegetarian rolls with feta cheese. We did our annual good deed of making bird feeders for the various birds that rest in the branches of our magnolia trees and the other surrounding trees. We went to the Holiday train show at the New York Botanical Garden. The only work being done now is that Stacey goes to the Morris Ave. site weekly to feed and maintain the wormbin and Stacey also feeds and maintains his home wormbin. We await Spring 2011. Goodbye. Peace.
