Our Community Partners

Many GrowNYC Farmstands are organized in collaboration with community-based partner organizations. Community partners often recommend and sometimes employ neighborhood youth for paid positions with Farmstands, and they provide a crucial link between GrowNYC and the local community. Partners can be non-profit organizations, schools, churches, or even concerned local business people; the only requirements are a strong link with the community and a willingness to commit to supporting a Farmstand.
