Paint the Town Green - A New Urban Farm Grows in Brooklyn

The Home of Sandra McLean
Brooklyn, NY


Paint the Town Green is a terrific cocktail party featuring cocktails, prepared by noted New York City mixologists, delectable bites, and a special raffle to benefit a new 10,000 square foot urban farm, the Abib Newborn Garden, in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The farm needs an irrigation system, compost, tools and sheds, and seeds and planting material. Students from Brooklyn schools and Slow Food NYC volunteers will plant, tend, and harvest crops that will be sold at a neighborhood, youth-run farm stand and in the community. Brownsville is a "food desert" neighborhood where fresh, healthy food is scarce. In addition to providing fresh produce in the community, this farm will help kids learn about good food and its value to the health and well-being of their neighbors in the community. 100% of Paint the Town Green proceeds will benefit the Abib Newborn Garden.

Note: 100% of the proceeds from Paint the Town Green will benefit the Abib Newborn Garden, a new urban farm, in Brownsville, Brooklyn.
