Cool. I’m a former resident of Williamsburg, returned home to California after 8 years. There is a book I am now reading which I thought to recommend. (please forgive me if it is standard reading material for NYC farmers but it was a remarkable find for me.) It is called Of Cabbages and Kings County – Agriculture and the Formation of Modern Brooklyn. Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 1999. (paper), ISBN: 0-87745-714-X; or (cloth), ISBN: 0-87745-670-4.
It is a very dry read, with half the book taken up with footnotes and charts; filled with statistical data which is valuable but makes an easy read more difficult. The overall information in there is well worth the dig.
