Hell's Kitchen Farm Project

Hell's Kitchen Farm Project The Hell’s Kitchen Farm Project is a collaboration of MCCNY Charities, Metro Baptist Church, Rauschen

The Hell’s Kitchen Farm projected evolved out of the Chelsea-West Side Neighborhood Network of emergency food programs. Two member congregations with food pantries formed a collaborative. This natural partnership came about out of the desires of MCCNY Sylvia Rivera Food Pantry to include urban agriculture in its food sourcing and Metro Baptist Church’s vision of a green roof and sustainability. As

discussion continued it became clear that the expert advice of Clinton Housing Development Company’s horticulturist was needed. The collaboration grew and conversations developed into envisioning a rooftop farm at Metro Baptist Church as a site of education and a sort of urban agriculture hub for the community. As designs developed and interest grew within the community throughout 2010, funding for the project became a reality in 2011 as the United Way of New York recognized our project as part of their Urban Farming Seed Grant program. As we work to grow and create a stronger, more connected community, we value partners in our work that share our vision of a neighborhood that is not only food secure, but is capable of creating living wage local jobs, and mitigating environmental degradation through the greening of the community.

We had a great summer here at Hell’s Kitchen Farm Project! 🥰 We welcomed our 2025 intern class and enjoyed six incredible weeks caring for our rooftop garden, learning about responsible land tending practices, and thinking deeply about our relationship with nature as proud city dwellers. 🌳☀️

We also went on field trips around our city to learn more about food justice and local ecology, such as the New York Hall of Science, the Javits Center, Inwood Hill Park, and . We also made pickled green beans on our roof 👀 🫛
