CRAFT + TUFFS Year-end Farmer-to-Farmer Gathering
December 16, 2022
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Brooklyn, NY
All NYC urban farmers are invited to celebrate the season at this year's final CRAFT visit (hosted by East New York Farms!) combined with a revival of The Urban Farmer-to-Farmer Summit (aka TUFFS)! There'll be snacks, a seed swap, a farm tour, and some TUFFS-style story-and-skill-sharing. But most importantly, we're just going to hang out, meet the other urban farmers we've never met, catch up with folks we haven't seen in a while, and have a good time.
