Of Farms and Food, GrowNYC blog link

CSA farm sign passed along the road on bike trip to Saratoga from Brooklyn.

Searching for news on how area farmers are faring post-Irene, I came upon GrowNYC's blogpost about assisting Greenmarket Farmers effected by Hurricane Irene.

Over at Edible Manhattan, there's the same link and some information about one Greenmarket Farmer who's struggling with farm damage.

Happy you are well in vermont. 26 acres seems like so much to me, but I live in a place,where we measure real estate in square feet and I rent less than 300. Was hoping that all the trendiness of food and farms might carry over in the news coverage, but not so much. You do still have to seek out that information. Stay dry.
