Rezumat
Welcome to the Prospect Farm, a community group in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn that is working together to grow food in a formerly vacant lot, with the mission toward creating a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farm that can serve the community. Prospect Farm is a community association with membership open to all. Members improve and farm the land and sustain ties with local residents, businesses and organizations. We support the Brooklyn Food Coalition and other initiatives for food sovereignty and food justice. The farm is repairing and expanding their current composting system in order to serve their community as a compost drop-off location. 2013 Winner of First-Ever Manhattan Community Scale Composting Contest.
