Urban Farms Nurture Youth
The National Wildlife Federation
Harlem Grown’s community-driven mission extends to local wildlife. Staff install native plants at some of their farms, helping bees, butterflies and other pollinators flourish among the crops. Farmers, educators and guides also teach school groups and other visitors about urban wildlife and the value of pollinators to ecosystems. One site even demonstrates beekeeping and offers tastes of its colony’s honey.

New York Times
More than just introducing New York City children to outdoor activities, Harlem Grown helps children explore bigger questions in their neighborhoods: what their food choices are, and why healthy options are often hard to find or afford.
