Foxhurst in the Bronx in Bronx County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Edible Food Forest
Bronx River Foodway
Welcome to your Food Forest!
The Bronx River Foodway is one of New York City's only edible food forests. Inspired and designed by the Bronx community and Swale, a floating food forest once docked at Concrete Plant Park between 2016-2017. This perennial landscape jump-starts the imagination, reconnecting community members to food, plant medicine, and land within the city.
The food forest was first established in 2017 and offers access to a variety of edible plants. These include medicinal plants like echinacea, nut trees like the chestnut, an assortment of native berries, as well as a small orchard.
Take a stroll through the Foodway and learn all about the edible beauties. And you get your hands dirty in regular volunteer opportunities.
