Residents in NYC recycle about half of what they can, and OROE is hitting the streets of the five boroughs to help NYC do even better.  We need YOU to join our dedicated team of volunteers who donate time and talent to help spread the word!

Volunteers are highly encouraged to attend one of our monthly Recycling Outreach Volunteer Orientations.

What started three years ago as a conversation about how to urge Greenmarket bakers to incorporate local flour into their baked goods has bloomed into a full-blown initiative to revitalize and sustainably scale up the production of grains in the Northeast. Since those initial talks, much has happened: new local grain growers have been identified, mills have been built, and steadily, a broader range of grains—from freekeh and spelt to emmer and wheat berries—are increasingly more available to Greenmarket bakers and Greenmarket shoppers alike.
