Harlem Grown, An Oasis In New York City

Clip: Season 2021 Episode 2 | 3mVideo has Closed Captions

Lidia meets the people behind Harlem Grown, an urban farm in New York City.

When Tony Hillery’s business fell apart during the 2008 financial crisis, he began volunteering at a school cafeteria in Harlem, New York. Shocked by what he saw, he founded Harlem Grown, an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire youth to lead healthy and ambitious lives through mentorship and hands-on education in urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition.
