The Farm Report

I noticed this short YouTube clip featuring Buffalo's Mayor Byron Brown this evening. Here he's addressing the City's current position reagarding the Wilson Street Urban Farm.

In the current issue of Artvoice - No Pioneers is a great read.

Drive down Fillmore Street between Sycamore and Broadway and you’ll see boarded-up buildings, dilapidated homes, and ubiquitous empty lots. By anyone’s estimation, it’s a rough neighborhood. But walk into 812 Fillmore, and you’ll find dozens of shoes neatly paired in the entranceway, and a warm, welcoming living room filled with children doing their homework, cooking and playing. This is the home of Mark and Janice Stevens, a couple who moved from a farm in Wyoming County to the East Side of Buffalo last year.

While checking out Dyngus Day events around the Broadway Market and Central Terminal this Monday, take a moment and drive down nearby Wilson Street.

Here's the Wilson Street Urban Farm Facebook Group.
