About Brooklyn Rescue Mission Urban Harvest Center
In 2005, Brooklyn Rescue Mission created partnerships with the New York City environmental and food justice organizations to break ground on an abandoned lot behind the Mission in order to grow fruits and vegetables for pantry recipients. The site, once a neighborhood garbage dump, was transformed into an urban oasis that has served several hundred people since its creation. The farm has become a community gathering space and a classroom to teach neighborhood youth about food growing and community service.
Farmer's Market open in summer season.
