Hear how the Red Hook community has come together to support small-batch producers! This program has been sponsored by Tekserve.
"The Red Hook community definitely pulled together, but it was really overwhelming. We didn't have any electricity to open and get into the kitchen." [1:00] -- Fany Gerson of La Newyorkina
