EcoStation: NY is a new, Bushwick, Brooklyn-based nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental & food justice. And fun.
EcoStation: NY is celebrating Earth Week with three fun public events: a sunrise compost-turning, a “pot luck and seed swap”, and a rock show in a bike shop.
This season, EcoStation:NY will be managing Bushwick Farmers’ Market and Wyckoff Farmhouse Market, and is currently developing the Secret Garden Farm and Nature Preserve (featured 4/15 in the New York Times!).
The new, organic urban farm will provide produce for the markets, while the natural area is a long-term restoration project and living outdoor classroom.
