BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (PIX11) – Since 2011, Bushwick City Farm has been an oasis on this corner of Bushwick, and residents are fighting to keep it here for decades to come.
Close to 60 people attended this rally to keep Bushwick City Farm open.
For the past 15 years, volunteers have been handing out free food to people in the community every Wednesday and Saturday.
Bushwick City Farm also provides a calm, quiet place for people to sit and relax.
The owner of the property allowed a community garden to be created on this corner of Louis Avenue and Stockton Street in 2011, free of charge.
But according to rally organizers, taxes have risen sharply since 2004, so the owner decided to shut down the farm.
“We have fed roughly 350 families a week for 15 years,” Jason Reis, the volunteer coordinator, told PIX11 News. “We will try to continue to feed people outside on the street now,” he added.
Volunteers have been donating their time and food to help others.
“I do it to help others,” Gail Ross, a volunteer for the past four years, told PIX11 News. “I always hope there would be help for me if I needed it,” she added.
