The Libi Project spent a day touring Garden of Eve Farm, the farm partner of Groundcycle, an organization helping New Yorkers fight food waste and divert organics from the landfill.

Farmers Chris and Eve met in 2000 and together they started a large garden on about 1/4 acre of land in Riverhead, Long Island which they worked together on evenings and weekends after coming home from their full-time jobs.

They founded Garden of Eve organic farm in 2001, dedicated to providing delicious organic vegetables, fruits and beautiful flowers and to “making changes in the world by living them.”

Since then, Chris and Eve have expanded and now grow 50 acres of certified organic vegetables, flowers, raise 1000 pastured laying hens, and oversee almost 20 farm team members. Garden of Eve sells produce through an on-farm Farm Market, 4 farmers markets, and nearly 1,000 households participating in their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs at 20 locations in New York City and on Long Island.
