Somewhere in Kingston, NY a small farm grows.
South Pine Street City Farm is a collaboration between non-profit organizations, small businesses and a farmer who wants to see her new hometown bloom. With the generous donation of land use from Binnewater Ice, Co., a 1/4 acre urban farm will provide the citizens of Kingston with fresh, extremely local produce and will also serve as a learning and training ground for participants in Share Our Strength’s ” Cooking Matters” program hosted by The Queen’s Galley in the Hudson valley, which teaches nutrition and cooking basics to families, as well as chefs and staff for an upcoming mission-based restaurant in Kingston.
What the Farm will do Besides Grow Veggies:
It will help to grow farmers and grow farmland. It will show that it is possible, even in an urban landscape, for a first generation farmer to find access to land and find support for an agricultural career. Our goal is to inspire as well as provide a model for farmers, cities and their citizens to grow the possibilities for a local food-based network.
