Join us for our neighborhood food crawls, like the Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill Food Fests. Take a stroll in a unique, historic corner of Brooklyn and taste fine food and drink right at the doors of the local food establishments. Don't forget about our children's cooking classes and the Gowanus Holiday Flea Market, a new venture to promote local business, artisans, artists and creators while doing good.
All proceeds benefit Seeds in the Middle, a non profit organization located in the heart of Brooklyn that aims to inspire social change through sustainable health. Seeds in the Middle inspires parents, educators, students, and their community to access all the opportunities and beauty New York City has to offer, beginning with taking control of their health, enhancing arts education, and greening their environment.
