CRAFT, TUFFS, East New York Farms!, and Harvest NYCRAFT + TUFFS Year-end Farmer-to-Farmer Gathering
December 16, 2022
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.
Rain or shine, because that's how we do. Feel free to bring seeds for the swap, a funny story from the farm, or anything else you feel like sharing. Come anytime between 1 and 4pm; we'll do announcements and story sharing around 2pm.
FREE! Please RSVP.

Soil testing supports the growth and expansion of community gardens by protecting the health and safety of the food produced in these gardens.

Test results help gardeners make appropriate plans to produce high quality fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Technical support and education for participating growers will be provided by the CCE Harvest New York team. Learn more about the 2025 Community Gardens Soil Testing Program.
