Food in the City: Urban Farmers Bring Bitter Melon (and Other Produce) to East New York

http://www.wnyc.org/culture

On Saturday mornings, at the intersection of New Lots & Schenck Aves, farm stands sprout up in narrow rows, selling fresh strawberries, carrots, okra and other locally grown produce. While some of that produce comes from upstate farms, much of it is grown by two dozen New York City teenagers. They're interns at East New York Farms, where, since March, they've been hoeing, seeding, and composting on what was once a trash-strewn lot in East New York, Brooklyn.
