There are still a few tickets available for tonight’s benefit dinner for Red Hook’s Added Value Farm at iCi in Fort Greene.
Added Value was one of the pioneers of urban agriculture in New York City. They began farming their 2.75 acre plot in Red Hook in 2004. They continue to provide the neighborhood and several Brooklyn restaurants with fresh, organic produce. The farm also employs teams of kids from the neighborhood each season.
Here’s a video toast to Aseel Alwaqza, one of the farm’s youth leaders.
