BEST THING EVER (Just About)
Red Hook Community Farm
Much ink has been spilled about this iconic symbol of the urban farm
movement in Brooklyn (and yes, in Brooklyn, nine years is plenty of
time to gain icon status). Founded in 2000 by Michael Huritz and Ian
Marvy, the Red Hook Community Farm (and its concomitant organization,
Added Value) has employed countless neighborhood kids, bringing both
economic and nutritional benefits to the area, along with a Red Hook
Greenmarket! We hereby propose that nearby behemoth Ikea start selling
stuff from the Red Hook Community Farm — everybody wins,
right?
