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.
