Bushwick Grind is committed to doing its part in ending the cycle of death and illness that can be prevented by access to healthy food.  As first-place winners of the 2020 1010Wins Small Business Grant, Raymond and Kymme were awarded funding to launch a new business line of urban farming in an area currently considered a “healthy food desert”.  Renting the empty lot adjacent to their café reinforces their community engagement by offering a true farm to table profile, increase overall education and visibility to the bountifulness of producing food.

Either through café, catering, food-service, special events, pop-up shops, and soon, urban farming, Bushwick Grind is focused on making a major impact on the wellness of their community.
