Urban farming galore at Urby’s Staten Island community
New Yorkers can get a taste of the countryside at Urby’s Staten Island apartment complex, which includes elements one might expect to only find miles away from the hustle and bustle of the Tri-State metropolis.
Among the many things residents have access to are a 5,000-square-foot farm, an apiary, and various DIY gardening and beekeeping workshops.
What makes these offerings unusual is that they are explicitly curated by live-in farmer Zaro Bates and her business partner Asher Landes.
Bates and Landes also oversee the community’s social events, which are geared towards helping residents cultivate interactive and cooperative relationships.
