Soon, Mr. Long will be leading a weekly walk every Thursday for farmers markets & programs for underserved kids and against violence.  Mr. Long is the retired principal of PS 91 in Crown Heights and he doesn't want kids today to grow up with NO access to fresh food or healthy activities so they die young from preventable diseases like diabetes and heart disease.   Read about Mr. Long here in the Daily News Donate here Our markets feature not fresh produce and activities to build community.
