…and myself in a conversation moderated by Leonard Lopate, about the possibilities for growing food in our cities, and New York in particular, at The Greene Space in lower Manhattan to celebrate the release of the expanded edition of “Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn” (Metropolis Books & D.A.P.), and at the end of the talk, the audience was treated to a delicious selection of fresh food  from local producers, selected by New Amsterdam Market, including: Beer by Jimmy Carbone – Jimmy’s No. 43; Cheese by Doug Ginn – Twin Maple Farm; Bread by Sarah Black – Fairway Bakery; Kombucha Tea by Rick Miller – KBBK Kombucha Brooklyn; and Pickles by Shamus Jones – Brooklyn Brine – such a fun night with some of my favorite people! see video of the conversation here.
