Our network of farmers markets, Youthmarkets, Fresh Food Box pick-ups, and Greenmarket Co. ensures that all New Yorkers have access to the freshest, healthiest local food.
GrowNYC is the sustainability resource for New Yorkers: providing free tools and services anyone can use in order to improve our City and environment. #letsgrownyc
We blanket the five boroughs with resources like textile and food scrap collection, Stop 'N' Swaps, and free training to make waste reduction easy for all.
We build and rejuvenate community and school gardens in all 5 boroughs, and support even more gardens through volunteer days, technical assistance, school garden grants, and more.
We foster future environmental stewards by providing 30,000 children each year with programs that provide meaningful interactions with the natural environment.
Now what? We keep on moving forward.
Why bother? Because each person’s actions, decisions and behavior still matter.
Is this it? Not yet.
People are fired up, mobilized, taking action.
Here at GrowNYC we continue to be astounded by the power of the people who take action to stop climate change and make a difference for all of us.
We see it in the faces of NYC community gardeners, in the joyful first harvest of our youngest school gardeners, in the sweat and determination of regional farmers.
Join GrowNYC and Greenmarket at Project Farmhouse on June 15th for a conversation with Paul Greenberg and Stephanie Villani about the current state of seafood and politics surrounding the fishing industry.
