The Farm

An urban farm is being planted at Kingsborough in what was an asphalt lot. In collaboration with Active Citizen Project/EATS, KCC will soon have a 12-month, high-yielding farm. Using rainwater collection, composting and other resourceful measures, this project will be a demonstration site for sustainable practices.[1] 

Compost

We're composting farm scraps and food scraps from the culinary arts program, and we get infinite bags of dead leaves from grounds maintenance. We do aerobic composting in a 4-tiered bin system made from hardwood. Eventually we'll have a demonstration area for vermicomposting.
