Like Farmer, Like Dog is a series exploring the relationship between urban farmers and their canine companions in New York City.

In the first episode we hung out under the Williamsburg Bridge at North Brooklyn Farms with Emma and her feisty pup Jam. This time, we’re taking a trek up to the Randall’s Island Urban Farm to meet Erica Harte and Baxter. Erica is a farmer and educator in the farm’s Edible Education Program. We spend a morning learning from Erica as she teaches a group of first grade students about how their food grows, sustainability, and urban agriculture. Then, we head back to Bushwick to meet Baxter and hear about his history as a farm dog and his life in Brooklyn.

Like Farmer, Like Dog was produced by Kat Johnson, Micaela Heck, and Jordan Werner.

Like Farmer, Like Dog is a series exploring the relationship between urban farmers and their canine companions in New York City. For many urban farms, these dogs are really the only animal representation they have, given the challenges of raising livestock in the middle of a city. In episode one, we meet Emma Gonzalez of North Brooklyn Farms and her dog, Jam. Emma – who is a chef, farmer, and event planner – found Jam through the Sato Project, which rescues dogs from Puerto Rico. We also hear from Henry Sweets, one of the cofounders of North Brooklyn Farms, about how Jam plays a huge role at the farm, despite her petite size.
