Today marked the first volunteer day of the fall semester for Kingsborough Community College’s Urban Farm (2001 Oriental Boulevard).

The school opened up its urban farm, growing fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs right here in the community shortly after the launch of its culinary program back in 2010.
