Black History Month
At Farm School NYC, we believe that Black peopleโ€™s experiences and voices should be highlighted, valued, and uplifted everyday. We also recognize the significance of Black History Month and its origins. We hope this month serves as a reminder to continue the work of researching and celebrating stories of Black people and culture.

Citywide Program Updates
Students have completed our Food Justice course. On the last day, they gathered at Hattie Carthan Community Garden to discuss and analyze the impacts of community food organizing on the neighborhood.
Now midway through Botany, students are led by Ruby and Gaby, land stewards and former FSNYC students excited to share their wisdom. Students have begun to balance the western and indigenous knowledge associated with plants and naming.

Free High Tunnel!
Community farms, gardens, and other grassroots growing spaces can now apply to receive a high tunnel from Farm School NYC thanks to our sponsor, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Please read more and apply here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkNQnsZq8WqSLy2a9L1gutkzaW3SqJ_hTT9yHVdAfyfY3WHg/viewform
Sites in the five boroughs are eligible. This project aims to increase the number and maximize the usage of high tunnels in NYC farms and gardens, particularly in spaces led by and serving Black and Latinx communities and limited resource farmers.
