The Commons Brooklyn

Music and books, talk and turnips—all featured at this fundraiser for Farm City, an action-research project aiming to enhance the profile of and prospects for producing more food within the City

Novella Carpenter, author of “Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer,” will be reading and signing books.  Communal Table will present “Turnip Fest,” a variety of treats made from the lowly root veggie sourced from Kings County farms.  Our favorite neighborhood bookstore, Book Court, will display a special selection of food titles. All accompanied by live music from Brooklyn-based players. 

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and can be obtained at Brown Paper Bag Tickets.  Please help support Brooklyn’s “growing” movement!
