Description
Discover the farms that are growing in the shadow of New York City's hustle and bustle. New York City is a metropolis of towering skyscrapers, vast infrastructure, millons of people...and farms? While few NYC residents realize it, there are three genuine farms within the city limits, on in Queens, one in east New York, and one on Staten Island. While the food they produce is only a fraction of that consumed by New Yorkers every day, the survival of these three farms shows the viability of urban agriculture. While decreasing transportation costs and suburban sprawl have pushed agriculture further and further away from urban centers, there wer always farms in New York City, providing at least some residents with the kind of fresh, locally grown food products that began to disappear as industrial food production and lengthy supply chains began to take over how Americans consumed food.
