🌾🍎 Protect New York Farmland, Protect New York's Future

Once New York farmland is gone, there is no easy way to get it back.

From the fertile valleys of the Hudson to the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes and the fields of Western New York, New York farmers help feed America, support rural communities, and preserve a way of life that has defined the Empire State for generations. Productive farmland is more than open space — it is food security, local jobs, family heritage, and a critical part of New York's future.

Clean energy has a role to play, and solar power can be part of an all-of-the-above energy strategy. But many New Yorkers believe solar panels should first be placed on rooftops, parking lots, warehouses, brownfields, and other already-developed land before productive farmland is converted.

New York is known for its apples, dairy farms, wine grapes, and diverse agricultural production, but a strong New York also needs strong agriculture. Energy independence and food security should go hand in hand.

Protect the land that feeds us. Support New York farmers and growers. Keep New York growing. 🚜🌾

Take a trip down memory lane to a grainy, black-and-white autumn afternoon on Tremont Ave. Look at the classic vintage look—the old-school MTA bus heading toward Pelham Bay, the boxy yellow cab, the vintage storefronts like Peter's Bakery and Rivera's Market, and people rocking those iconic 1980s puffy jackets and acid-washed jeans.
​The orange date stamp says '84 10 21—over 40 years ago! It perfectly captures that gritty, nostalgic, old-school Bronx energy we all miss.
​But hold on. If you actually grew up on these blocks or spent your teenage years riding the buses around here in the '80s... look very closely at the details.
​AI tried to recreate our history, but it left behind a few major giveaways that prove this didn't actually
