As part of last falls City Wide Garden-To-Cafeteria project, Kimberly
followed the harvest of food from Red Hook Community Farm to the table at
PS15. Along the way she captured the story of how a collaboration between
local school systems and local urban agriculture initiatives can transform
our lives and the world in which we live
For Kimberly, it was the culmination of her work as an educator, farm
worker, and documenter.
