The "Battery Urban Farm" is a 1 acre garden in southern Manhattan that has been made for educational purposes. School students plant and harvest in the garden--which many of them have no idea this is how food comes about. After summer is over they use the produce for the local school lunches. Since it was still summer, though, we got to go harvest. There are 30 spots each week and I was lucky enough to get one. It is a free (donations encouraged) event.
We picked a lot of cucumbers (this little patch has produced over 700lbs so far this year!). June's favorite part was using the scissors and cutting.
Yummy greens for salad, kale, swiss chard, cherry tomatoes, thyme, lemon thyme, peppers, etc.
