Farm goes to market
The growing popularity of green markets is not lost on Liz Neumark, chief executive of Tony Catering firm Great Performances and owner of year-old Katchkie Farm.
Capitalizing on the fresh-food trend, Katchkie this week replaces Central Harlem CSA as the main vendor at the green market at PS 180 in Harlem, which has provided fresh produce to parents of students since 2005. The school’s relationship with Katchkie began when it started sending students on field trips to the farm to learn about nutritious food and cooking.
Katchkie has also inked a deal to sell produce at the green market in Rockefeller Center on Wednesday s in July and August.
Next on Ms. Neumark’s plate, bottled organic ketchup. Katchkie will introduce a line as soon as the tomatoes ripen on the vine, Ms. Neumark says. “It’s going to have flavor,” she promises. Last year, the farm launched Thunder Pickles.
End
Statistics show 6 of ten African Americans are obese and 5 of ten Hispanics are obese. Childhood type 2 Diabetes is epidemic. Katchkie and others like her are making a difference. We as individuals are the ones to change the unhealthy diets of America’s youth.
