Bear­ing Fruit

[gallery columns=“2”] The Added Val­ue Farm on Gov­er­nors Island is real­ly tak­ing off. Though the plants were only recent­ly start­ed, some big changes are tak­ing place. This squash plant has some of the best views in the city. The farm is locat­ed in Pic­nic Point (a recent­ly cre­at­ed eight and a half acre pub­lic open space that is the clos­est point on land to the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty’s face) on the south­ern end of Gov­er­nors Island. Added Val­ue pro­duce that is grown on the Island will be sold to Water Taxi Beach’s food and din­ing facil­i­ty on the Island, as well as at a farm stand also on the Island. I hope you come out for your­self to see the won­der­ful work this great orga­ni­za­tion is doing on Gov­er­nors Island.
