PROSPECT FARM: AN ALTERNATIVE TO INDUSTRIAL FOOD

Civil Eats published an article today about Prospect Farm in Windsor Terrace. In "A Farm Grows in an Empty Lot in Brooklyn," Monique Peterson describes Prospect Farm as
a volunteer movement that’s working to make a difference in the way we think about food, community, and what it takes to democratically run a major project comprised of individuals holding various opinions on urban agriculture.
She says that
The intent is to make Prospect Farm a living public model and teaching tool.
The farm is about 5,000 square feet in size and is located at 1194 Prospect Avenue, between Seeley and Vanderbilt streets.
