Oko Farms, currently located at 105 River Street, announced that the farm must relocate after next month.
Oko Farms began in Bushwick in 2013, and moved to Williamsburg and signed a lease with Two Trees in May 2021. The new site had been vacant for decades, so the farm had the opportunity to “transform an under-utilized space in Brooklyn into an urban aquatic oasis that produced food for the community and improved ecological biodiversity.”
