Rusty Wheelbarrow Farm

Our mission is to produce food beyond sustainability and distribute the food to the local pantries, while educating our neighbors in sustainability, safe urban gardening, and responsible waste management/local composting. We also strive to have a friendly green space - in a part of Queens where there are very few public parks and little street tree coverage. Here our neighbors can participate in healthy activities while doing good for their community. Our moto is “feed the soil, feed the community” pointing at the circular “economy” that we model : collecting food scraps to transform into compost, using the compost to feed the soil, which in turn feed healthy plants, that we then harvest to return to community members in need, who’s food waste can be used to produce the next batch of compost.
