  For my first resource contribution of the semester I picked is Harlem Grown. It is a non-profit in Harlem, NY that brings farming to the city and the young people who live there. I chose this organization because I grew up in the country on a small farm and learned so much by getting my hands dirty. I love that in a big city like New York that is posibble.
  
  Their mission statement:
  
  "Founded in 2011, Harlem Grown is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to create a network of neighborhood farms and spread its produce and social benefits through Harlem. We operate local urban farms; increase access and knowledge of healthy food for Harlem residents; and provide garden-based youth development programs to Harlem youth.
  We believe that healthy habits start young so our educational programs are focused on elementary-aged students in Harlem. Food justice in our neighborhood is more than just providing and distributing food, therefore our model delves deep within the community using mentorship, job training, and partnerships as tools to create a sustainable community."
