Farmers Market

Our community-run farmers markets make fresh food available and affordable, while building our local economy and creating places for neighbors to meet and greet.
Community Gardens
East New York has more community gardens than any neighborhood in the city. We support gardens through community garden workshops, Summer garden assistance, mini grants, and Share Table. We also connect gardens with members looking for space to grow.

Youth Internship

We hire young people to participate in our Youth Internship program every year. In this intensive 9-month program, young people engage in hands-on learning around environment, health, community development, leadership, and social justice.
Community Education
Our Community Education series educates our neighbors about how to grow, prepare, and preserve food.

Urban Farms

We operate four urban agricultural spaces, which produce over 70 varieties of cultural relevant foods. Our farm spaces also serve to bring the community together by hosting educational workshops and volunteer days. One of our farms are in NYCHA developments in the neighborhood.
Compost
East New York Farms! has been composting for over 15 years. We collect food scraps year-round to process into nutrient-rich compost for farms and gardens in East New York to grow organic produce.
