Visitors from PS 24 come for fun in the coop!

We had an amazing group of 22 3rd graders from PS 24 in Riverdale vist yesterday, meet the hens and enjoy the garden! The kids were great and many faced and conquered their fears! Many had never touched or held a hen in their lives and several took on the challenge! The guests were then treated to pizeelles baked by our amazing volunteer Deb made from some of our eggs! We even had some extra mint for them to take home and enjoy at home! Thanks for visiting! If you want to bring your group, we offer free tours on Tuesday mornings at 11:00 am. Email lily@lilykesselman to sign up your group! We would love to have you!

A visit from Bronx Community Charter School

We hosted a class of second grade students from Bronx Community Charter School last week and had some fun! We have some chicken whisperers in the group! One of the hens fell asleep while she was being held!

Hooray for Partnerships!

Today we started a new partnership with our local grocery store! We picked up a a 3.5 pound bag of lettuce and green scraps for the hens and they LOVED it! We will hopefully be picking these up daily and not only keeping our hens happy, healthy and busy - it will keep pounds of waste out of our landfills!
