I have not written in quite some time. It's near a year I believe.  But  I wanted to get back by sharing some really wonderful things going on in NYC.

For many areas of the city, that do no have access to fresh foods sources, being able to find fresh veg. and fruits can mean having to travel outside of your community.  The Department of Agriculture for the City of New York has found ways to help these communities by providing green markets but also, you can buy fresh produce directly from local farms, for 12 dollars with the food box program. Anyone can participate , including folks on Food Stamps.  Please do check out the link below on this program.

They also have several other great programs to read about and learn aswell.

share. http://www.grownyc.org/greenmarketco/foodbox
