Thanks to all of you who participated in the farm cleanup last Saturday! Thanks to your efforts, we were able to clear not only 104 Moore Street, but also the backyard behind 106 Moore Street. The owner gave us permission to haul out years worth of trash, and we hope that she will also agree to let us farm the backyard as well, adding several hundred square feet to our farm.
106 Moore Street is also getting a new retail tenant -- a fried chicken place. And while it may not be the healthiest food on the planet, the renovated space will add some vitality and light to the block, especially in the evening, and that's good thing.
Thanks to Community Board 1 for working with us to coordinate a trash pick-up by the Sanitation Department (fingers crossed)!
watch for a ribbon-cutting in April!

Fundraising Event -- A Taste of Moore Street Market -- Thursday April 25, 2013
Please join us for an event to raise money to support BEDC's efforts at Moore Street Market!
On Thursday, April 25th, from 6-9 pm, we will be holding "A Taste of Moore Street Market -- La Marqueta de Williamsburg."
The event will be held, not at the market, but at The Green Building, located at the corner of Union and Bond Streets in Gowanus. This is a great old manufacturing mill building on the Gowanus Canal with soaring ceilings and great light.
Why not Moore Street as the location? It simply can't hold over 100 people without violating NYC Fire Department codes.
Expect food from our vendors, beer and sangria, a salsa band, and a lot of fun, all for $200/person.
Honorees include yours truly, BEDC board member Stuart Leffler and Congresswoman Velazquez and Councilwoman Reyna. We will also acknowledge all the great partners in the community who have helped make the revitalization of the market possible.
Keep watching this blog, BEDC blog (blog.bedc.com) and the Facebook pages for both BEDC and Moore Street Market for more information.
Hope you can join us!

Aquaponics Rules!!!
OKO Farms Aquaponics pilot project in the market is thriving! Yemi added a lot more tilapia last week and they are all getting along swimmingly (sorry- I couldn't resist)! A few karp made it in there for show. And a few of the tilapia look big enough for the dinner plate.
The kale, basil and mint are growing like weeds. Hopefully, in a few weeks, this all moves outdoors to the aquaponics farm at 104 Moore Street, where there will be a 500-gallon fish tank.
