Today we mourn the loss of one of our founders, Barry Benepe, and we celebrate his legacy:

"In 1966, he helped organize a protest to close Central Park to automobile traffic on Sundays in the summer."

52 years later, the park went car-free every day, all year long.

Barry Benepe, Who Gave New York Its Greenmarkets, Dies at 96

He brought farm-grown produce to the city’s streets, creating the largest network of farmers’ markets in the country and helping to revive neighborhoods.
