FARMS IN THE CITY - A Jersey City Reinvent & Develop Event


aug 21,   2 - 6pm
Hudson County Community College Culinary Center
161 Newkirk Street
Jersey City, NJ


We are proud to announce Jersey City has been selected as one of eight cities nationwide to participate in a community building exercise sponsored by GOOD magazine that we hope will create a brighter food security future in Jersey City.

Our first initiative will be a workshop and brainstorming session, on the afternoon (2-6pm) of August 21st at the Culinary Conference Center, 161 Newkirk Street, that will CALL TO ACTION Community Leaders, Systems Thinkers, Artists, Students, Seniors and other Motivated Citizens to participate in a dialogue about how to create a community-supported Urban Agriculture Program in Jersey City.

Our objective is to create an Urban Agriculture/Food Access document and action plan that is realistic, easy to implement and empowers every day citizens to take action towards environmentally beneficial projects in Jersey City.

We hope that you will join us to discuss and design Jersey City's urban agriculture plan and we invite you to forward this invitation to interested parties. Please contact Gillian Allen by August 16th to RSVP -- 646-388-1825 or gillian@jcfoodcoop.com.

We hope to see you on August 21st!!

Sincerely,
