The Randall’s Island Park Alliance’s Urban Farm is a 40,000 SF environmentally-sustainable farm and outdoor classroom at Randall’s Island Park. The mission of the Farm is to offer local children and families the chance to experience and learn about agriculture in an urban setting, as well as to teach essential life skills and support academic learning through hands-on classes exploring how choices about food affect their health, the environment and their communities.Randall's Island Park Alliance to date has contributed 500 lbs of produce to local partners in East Harlem and the South Bronx. In support of Operation Nourish we are going to help the farm with some weeding,composting and mulching to keep the farm running at peek performance in order to continue to support their efforts during the pandemic. A mask and all social distance guidelines will be strictly followed. If you are feeling ill please notify the platoon leader at dperez@missioncontinues.org and do not attend the event. Masks and gloves will be provided at the event.
