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!

Season 2011
With March approaching, spring also is approaching. Work will probably begin soon. We will be deciding what vegetables and herbs to plant for this season and will determine if we will plant anything new this year. I look forward to working in the gardens during the warm weather. I have looked at the soil at Morris Ave. when I go there weekly to maintain the wormbin since the snow has finally melted. Unfortunately, we were not able to plant a cover crop last season. We will continue our annual practice of adding much compost to the soil to improve the soil structure. Finally, I will harvest both the work wormbin and my home wormbin during the next few weeks.
