Adopt a Chick! You will receive postcards from one of our hens over the course of the year. Watch how fast they grow and know that you made fresh eggs available for the neighborhood.
Pledge $150 or more
THROW US A DINNER PARTY TO RAISE THE $$$ How it works: Throw a dinner party at your place, and ask your guests to pledge money to our campaign (6 people at $25 = $150). We will supply cocktails for the dinner (see http://sisterliqueurs.blogspot.com/ for cocktail options) If your dinner party pledges $150, we will bring you one of our handmade grocery bags full of produce from some of our favorite farmers. You will also receive a postcard from one of our chicks, and big thank yous all around. This reward is also available for people you pledge $150 without the dinner party. (Reward only for people living in NYC as we are opposed to shipping produce.) See http://www.bkfarmyards.com/dinnerparty/dinnerparty.html for more information.
Pledge $500 or more
Dinner for 2 in a New York City restaurant that features local organic produce. We know some great chefs: your taste buds will love you forever! Prior to meal, we will inquire about your dietary requests.
Pledge $1,000 or more
Do you want to develop your own farmyard? Enjoy our consultation services for a growing season. Send us photos of your yard as well as your dietary preferences, and we will draw up a crop plan for you along with a schedule for starting seeds. During the season, consult with us about any pest or disease concerns in your new farmyard: we will give you information about pest cycles you should be aware of for your crops. We will also provide consultation to improve your soil health: your crops are only as healthy as your soil!

Stacey Murphy's background is in architecture and engineering, but the food-related health issues of her family and herself have led her to commit her talents to starting a sustainable urban farming network in Brooklyn to increase access to fresh produce.
This is a great idea and I'm definitely glad it was funded, but you guys never followed through on your rewards promises! $150 is a lot of money for me to have given to strangers and have it just fall into a black hole... Maybe at least send an email update as to how you used our money?
Congratulations everyone! Very Inspiring!
cool idea. im in NYC it would be neat to meet up. i'm actually working a website you guys would defintinely be interested in being apart of. keep up the good work.
Hi RoninMInds,
/Thanks so much for your generosity with the project!
When I set the project up, I thought I allowed people to get all the lower pledge rewards for a higher pledge amount, but I am not sure how to check to see if this is the case.
Hi there. Important question: in many fundraisers, (especially on KickStarter) pledges at higher amounts also include the lower pledge rewards. This helps encourage people to give more.
Hoping that system either already is the case with BK Farmyards or can just be improved as such. I think you'll get higher initial pledges, as well as people managing their existing pledges to raise them.
Thank you for listening & good luck!
This is a great Project!!!!! I am very excited to meet you at Mateo's Net Impact meeting on Feb 5th, and have you come up and visit the Ananda Harvest soon!!!!
Local produce is the tastiest!
Cant wait to see a new lush farm in Crown Heights!
