I received a nice e-mail from Mirem Villamil. Mirem let me know that she is working for Edible Schoolyard NYC, managing a new half-acre public school garden in Gravesend, Brooklyn, helping to create a curriculum, and teaching garden classes to pre-K through 5th grade kids. I'm beyond delighted that my personal mission - getting kids growing their own food - has become a full-time job with such an amazing organization.
As background - ESYNYC is an affiliate of Edible Schoolyard Berkeley (of Alice Waters fame). Alice Waters was behind the creation of the Yale organic farm when her daughter attended Yale, although I don't know details.
