Project EATS is always inspired by the great work done by our friends at @godslovenyc . For 35 years, they’ve been feeding people in need free of charge. To celebrate you can sponsor a #BirthdayCake through their program! Be a part of it at https://t.co/kGHKJG4aMF.

This organic mizuna and mustard greens (and bit of weeds) are a few of the infinite reminders that everyday is earth day.

It's National Volunteer Week and we want to recognize and celebrate all the amazing folks who have volunteered at our farms and pantries.Without their support we would not be able to do the work we do. Thank you to all of our volunteers!❤️❤️❤️

A few weeks ago we were able to host youth from @bcjc_brooklyn. We're looking forward to hosting more neighbors at our farms! We will, of course, be masked up and socially distanced - but we might ask for some help with weeding.

It’s Cesar Chavez Day! Along with celebrating Chavez, we also want to recognize the work of Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz. Along with Chavez, the trio helped found the United Farm Workers and were committed to fighting environmental & civil injustices.

We're excited to have teamed up with @wideawakes_msk , @brooklynmuseum and @bicsmutualaid last Saturday for our pantry in Brownsville. It was great to give out some tasty soup and hot chocolate along with our veggies and pantry items.

At Tuskegee Institute, the legendary George Washington Carver promoted innovative agricultural techniques and environmentalism. And, he eventually would became synonymous with the peanut industry and one of the most famous agrarians in US history.

These pea shoots are a good source beta carotene, vitamin C, folate, and fiber. They are also very photogenic under a red grow light.....

We've been growing microgreens in the Bronx. Although small in size, they're dense in nutrients and a great way to easily introduce greens into your meals. What's your favorite way to eat microgreens?

Here's some nutrient-dense kale we’ve been able to grow this winter. It can help with lowering cholesterol levels - eat up!

Snow from earlier this week slowed us down a bit, but fortunate to have greenhouses that help us get through the winter - so we can distribute some fresh organic veggies to our communities!
