Annie Novack "Urban Farms, Upstate Lands & Local Food", Thursday, Jan 20th
Farmer-activist Annie Novak, the founder and executive director of Growing Chefs and co-founder of the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in Brooklyn, will give the “Food, Land, Sustainability” lecture at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, on Thursday, January 20, 2011.
Annie’s talk will start at 7 p.m. in the Sarah Lawrence’s Heimbold Visual Arts Center.
The co-sponsor of the event is Sarah Lawrence College.
The public is welcome (there's a suggested donation of $15), but space is limited so please RSVP to grace@westchesterlandtrust.org, to make sure we save a seat for you.
Annie's talk is called “Urban Farms, Upstate Lands & Local Food,” and will focus on the connection between growing food in the city and the preservation of farmland in the Hudson Valley; the growth of our local food system; and issues of access to farmland for young farmers.
Her work has been featured on CNN, in New York magazine ("A Guide to the City's Urban Farmers"), on Salon.com and many other news outlets.
A Sarah Lawrence graduate, she founded Growing Chefs in 2005 as a way to connect people to food, from the soil to the kitchen. Growing Chefs offers educational programming in farming, gardening and cooking with simple recipes using seasonal ingredients.
Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is a 6,000 square foot green roof organic vegetable farm located atop a warehouse in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The farmers at Eagle Street supply a community supported agriculture program (CSA) and an onsite farm market, and bicycle fresh produce to area restaurants.
Last year’s “Food, Land, Sustainability” talk at Sarah Lawrence was given by Josh Viertel, executive director of Slow Food USA.

Slow Food Potluck Meetup, Saturday, Feb 27th, South Salem
Slow Food Potluck hosted by Enviro-photographer J Henry Fair
Inspired by Josh Viertel's incredibly inspiring talk on Food, Land and Sustainability, we're scheduling a series of potlucks in hopes that they will help to foster a sense of community around food and sustainability issues. After all, what better way than sharing food to do this?
The first one of 2010 will be a potluck held in the home of renowned enviro-photojournalist J. Henry Fair in South Salem. Henry will briefly talk about his project Industrial Scars. For this event only we will have a vegetarian meal.
Please bring a dish to share. When you RSVP you can let the group know what you'll bring so that it's easier for the rest of us to plan.
In respect of Henry's incredible commitment to low-impact living, please contact me for ride-shares and make sure your dish is prepared with organically-raised whole, vegetarian foods, as local as possible.
Directions will be emailed to you after you RSVP on the KatonahGreen Meetup site.
Find out more about Slow Food Westchester on their blog or Facebook group.
We look forward to eating with you!
