We are ever more excited to launch the 4th season of JBOLC Garden Community Farmers Market on June 17, 2023 with more visions, ideas, partnerships, experiences and dedication to make it even more welcoming and virtuous for our community and beyond.
On Opening Day, we will also be celebrating the Juneteenth Holiday.

James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center is a Soil Soul Society building a healthier and more resilient community.
Thanks to you all of you who came to support our farmers and vendors and engaged our children with stories, poems, arts, and nature and sing-alongs. All we can say is there will be even more this coming summer. Thanks to all of you who were active volunteers and all of you who were happy to munch on delicious carrot cake and baked goods with garden tea. Thank you everyone for your donations, however big or small. Together, we made another great year.
We donated more than $1,700 worth of food, collected over 1,000 lbs of food scraps, engaged 9 students in paid Sustainability Internships and together we nourished our soil, soul and society!
We are so grateful for Story Time, led by Danielle Guggenheim. Danielle is a dedicated professional and visionary educator and active JBOLC Board member. She is also one of our most passionate community supporters and advocates and has been hosting Story Time from the very beginning when our community market opened in August of 2020 - in the midst of the Pandemic.

James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center presented at 2018 Municipal Art Society's Summit for New York City Innovation Exhibition held at Inside Park at St. Bart's, on Tuesday, October 9, next door to the Summit program at St. Bart's Church.
Here's what has been said about us: "Of the many incredible submissions that are empowering individuals to shape their built environment, our jury of Urbanist Members were particularly impressed with your project, Another Country/James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center."
We would love to thank all the urbanists who participated the event, especially those who came to our table and showed interests in what we are doing and supported us and our outdoor programs. And big thanks to our team for a stunning presentation!
The combination of tactile artifacts and story handouts, so elegantly formatted was such a strong reminder of where we have come and where we are going!
