The mission of the East New York farms Project is to organize youth and adults to address food justice in the community by promoting local sustainable agriculture and community-led economic development.  East New York farms! is a project of the United Community Centers in partnership with local residents. Their two community-run farmers markets make fresh food available and affordable, while building our local economy and creating places for neighbors for meet and greet.

They grow food for their community and provide support to help others do the same. They manage two urban farms (the UCC youth farm and Hands and Heart Garden) and work with an ever-growing network of over fifty gardeners representing over a dozen community and backyard gardens throughout East New York.
