Your donation funds farmers and food justice leaders across NYC

Support FSNYC in Seeding the Future!

Since our origin, Farm School NYC has seeded a more sustainable and prosperous future for people of NYC. Our faculty, staff and students are building systems and communities centered around care and intergenerational healing. Moreover, our programs, service projects, and events are cultivating future food justice leaders and transforming the food and land justice movement.

Your generous contributions helped us build a tuition free Farm School last year. This year, we are asking for your help to raise $15,000. Your gifts will sustain our gift economy and support our work to seed the future. Every dollar rasied will go directly toward training future leaders in NYC's food justice movement.

Farm School NYC has trained over 300 leaders in urban agriculture since 2010. Because of your generous donations, citywide program admittance has increased by 80% in the last two years. In addition, many of our students return to FSNYC as faculty to continue sharing knowledge and cultivating the future of land and food.

"Farm School isn't just about seeds in soil. It teaches us how to cultivate ourselves to be better. It shows us that we don't own the land, but that we are a part of it, and it is a part of us."


James (he/him/they/them)
"Farm School NYC teaches not just farming skills, but it critically teaches organizing skills, which are the key to us shifting towards self-reliant communities."


Sage (He/Him)
“Farm School helped me understand how to impact the future. My main goal is to teach children to teach themselves”


Cyn (she/her)
“ Food has no boundaries. Gardens are sustainably diverse and that's what I want my food to be about. ”
