This fall we had the privilege to work with brilliant friends from and as part of VAI’s Design Sprints program - an 8-week design project where we were paired with a designer to develop a project that would support our work! So honored to work with Joseph from Van Alen and collaborate closely with Taylor from Studio Loutsis on a journey to make develop our ideas and make concrete our design vision! Stay tuned for our spring unveiling of new wayfinding and identifying signs at the Columbia farm!!

What a wonderful season we had with the most dedicated and loving group of volunteers - we thank everyone for bringing all the good vibes, chisme, openness, and willingness to w**d, mulch, chop, trellis, prune, harvest, shovel, dig, and then do it all over and over again! Special recognition to farm regulars Marilyn, Miko, and Bobby for being super star volunteers this year!

Red Hook Farms Flowers and Forebears Project honors our brother Yousef Abu Rabea, a young Palestinian farmer from north Gaza who was martyred last week in an Israeli airstrike, as he was distributing seedlings for his community. He would have been at home here at the farms, we would have traded seeds in another lifetime. Our love and solidarity to those farming and stewarding land here and globally - under occupation, as an act of resistance. Tahia Yousef Abu Rabea ❤️‍🩹

Last week Farmers Brendan and Saara went on a triboro tour of compost sites through the coalition - it gave us so much perspective and inspiration to visit Green Feen in the Bronx, Compost Power and Brotherhood/Sister Sol in Manhattan, then welcome folks to our site, and finally close out Brooklyn at BK Rot and East NY Farms - so much love to our composter farmer educator friends, these community compost sites are doing the WORK!!
