Leaders from Capitol Hill toured a first-of-its-kind eco-hub in Canarsie on Sunday.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Massachusetts Rep. James McGovern checked out the two-acre community farm at the New York City Housing Authority's Bay View Houses.
"Being in Canarsie, at Bay View, we don't have a lot of access to organic produce. We have McDonald's across the street, but there's not exactly a certified place where we're getting our organic produce that is grown in, directly in and for our community," said Green City Force senior coordinator of program and partnerships Hakim Jeffrey.
