Mission
Our mission is to strive for inquiry and project-based solutions at the juncture of food, environmental and social justice.

Program accomplishments
- JBOLC GARDEN COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKET - Held weekly June through October, our Market attracts 100-300 participants each week. Total 2025 attendance was approx. 2500. Festival events at the Market include: JBOLC Health Fest, Community Resource Days, Vegetarian & Vegan Food Fest, Air We Share Town Hall, The Earth Beneath our Feet Dance Festival, JBOLC People's Fashion Show, AfroDeep Music Fest, Meg's Garden Tea Fest, Honorable Harvest Festival, and more. We aim to reach out, invite and embrace the broader community. 2025 marks our sixth season operating our open-air Farmers Market. The Market has become a Community Hub of Connection and Collaboration. Since our beginning in August of 2020, during the COVID pandemic, we have improved community members' access to farm-fresh vegetables and fruits, home-baked goods, and garden teas. Local vendors also offer their wares.Expenses $25,553 · grants $295
- PUBLIC GARDENS - With help from our 60+ volunteers and interns, we steward 0.75 acres of green space adjacent to the James Baldwin Plaza including: Meg's Garden & Edible Forest, Jubilant Pollinator Garden, Garden of Cultural Heritage, and Elderberry Patch. We also regularly help maintain gardens at the Museum of Bronx History and the Edgar Alan Poe Cottage. As NYC Park Stewards, we perform regular maintenance and cleanups of nearby Mosholu Parkland, as well as street trees within our vicinity. The gardens are an opportunity to provide hands-on knowledge on how to grow healthy food in a sustainable way. The goal is to promote citizen action, environmental justice and stewardship of vital urban green spaces. Meg's Garden is a natural medicine garden created to educate the community about the virtues of plants and their potential as healing plant medicines. We harvest plants for use in 18 cooking demos and to make healing tea to share at the market. Most of all, the gardens function as a safe welcoming place for neighbors to connect and share knowledge, food and stories. And to celebrate cultural diversity. Our goal is to help people to connect to and build reciprocal relationships with nature as we believe this will also contribute to their holistic health.Expenses $3,667
- PEDESTRIAN PLAZA OFFICIALLY NAMED FOR JAMES BALDWIN - Since 2020, we have helped transform the market site from 0.25 acres of unutilized public land into an NYC Dept of Transportation Pedestrian Plaza: a resurfaced public space with cafe tables and chairs set out daily. In 2025 NYC honored our efforts and our inspiration, African-American author/activist James Baldwin, by officially naming the "James Baldwin Plaza." The Plaza is used daily by neighbors, students and families as a place to rest, read, enjoy its surrounding green space and meet up with friends.
- GARDEN COMMUNITY-BUILDING - At our 2025 Market events: 15 local educators led health-oriented activities like yoga, dance, music, art-making, singing and more; and 5 local musical acts performed. We held 19 Meg's Garden Tea Parties, hosted by volunteers, where our community members shared knowledge, health tips and experiences over garden tea and healthy food.
