This is an interview with Johanna Willins and John Ameroso at the Herbal Garden in East New York on November 2nd 2023. Johanna and John were the founders of East New York Farms, a farmers market started in the Mid 1990's utilizing the produce from local community gardens. It grew over the years to include regional farmers and provided much needed frsh local produce to community residents. This market paved the way for the many local farmer/ craft markets now so prevalent in New York City and elsewhere.
