SPECIAL EVENT -- Brooklyn Creative League Supper Club and BK Farmyards host fundraiser for Youth Farm

Come and enjoy a delicious meal, topped off with cocktails from Sister Liqueurs, and an auction of goodie baskets filled with gift certificates to local restaurants and shops, artisan liqueurs, homebrews and more! There will be a short presentation on the new Farm at the high school followed by discussion on the future of urban agriculture and school farms.

All the proceeds will go toward the Youth Farm bk farmyards has developed in partnership with the High School for Public Service.

COST: $15.00 in advance online(or $20.00 at the door) PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS NOW.
Tickets must be purchased by 12:00 Noon on Monday to qualify for advance ticket price.

Based in Brooklyn, BK Farmyards transforms under-utilized land into tasty edible landscapes. We partner with homeowners, schools, developers, and community members to build micro-farms and distribute produce weekly. Not only can the community follow the food from seed to table, they are helping us build a much-needed alternative to the abundance of cheap processed foods and fast-food restaurants. We rely exclusively on the power of volunteers and the endless energy of the bk team instead of gas-guzzling machinery. We strive to make our food so affordable that anyone can access fresh food.

Among bk Farmyards's projects they are partnering with the High School for Public Service in Crown Heights / East Flatbush to start the 1-Acre Farmyard!

This farm will be one of the only fresh food sources in the neighborhood. You can come celebrate with us at our spring and fall harvest festivals when we close down Kingston Avenue for a block party!

Your donations will help with the development of a Youth Farm that empowers the students to become leaders in their community. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving; once in place, the farmyard will continue to thrive for years.

When you walk by this summer, you can proudly say, 'I built that!'
