Added Value’s sustainable farm provides fresh produce to the Red Hook community through farmer’s markets and a CSA. Their educational and farmer training programs have helped local youth learn valuable urban farming skills and entrepreneurship. This summer Added Value will also be providing fresh produce on Governors Island through their farm stand. More info: http://www.added-value.org/
