Upcoming Compass Events
Compass Farm Stand Begins on Wednesday, 5/6!
Our students will open their Compass Farm Stand on Wednesday, May 6th. The children will be selling fresh produce outside our entrance on Carlton from 11am-2pm.
Here's how you can buy your fresh fruits and veggies from the kids:
- If you or your child-care provider pick your child up on Wednesdays, please stop by a little early or stay a few minutes late to buy a few pieces of produce.
- If your child goes to afterschool or home on the bus, you are welcome to send money with your child to use to purchase fruits or veggies at the farm stand.
- If you are a friend of Compass or an incoming Compass family, feel free to stop by anytime between 11am and 2pm.
A list of what we will be selling this week is available on our Farm Stand flyer.

PLEASE SHARE THE FLYER WITH YOUR FRIENDS! ALL ARE WELCOME!
The Compass Farm Stand is possible through a grant from Urban Harvest (part of Slow Food NYC).
If you have questions about the Farm Stand, please contact Anna (anna@brooklyncompass.org).
