Slow Food Northern New Jersey’s urban farm and school garden fund helps supply fresh, organic vegetables to low-income residents of Newark and Jersey City. Its current projects include organic vegetable gardens at Jersey City preschools serving low-income families; and an urban farm in the South Ward of Newark, the SWAG Project, which runs two organic vegetable gardens, partners with area schools on educational programs and runs a farmers market that offers organic produce to the public at below-market prices.
