About Brooklyn Farm Girl

Brooklyn Farm Girl is your go-to spot for simple, delicious recipes inspired by a love of growing your own food—even in the heart of NYC. Whether it’s figuring out what to do with a mountain of green beans (“Can I freeze all these green beans?”—yes, you can!) or turning an overflowing jar of cucumbers into perfect half-sour pickles, BFG is all about making homegrown ingredients work for you.

Run by Pamela Reed, a one-woman show handling photography, video-making, and recipe creation, Brooklyn Farm Girl shows that cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated. Here, you’ll find easy-to-make recipes using ingredients you can grow yourself, no matter where you live. Pamela encourages you to waste nothing and savor everything, all while keeping it simple for busy lives (especially busy moms!).

New to BFG? Start with our Vegetable Recipe Index, where you can easily find recipes for any veggie you have on hand, garden-fresh or store-bought

BFG has partnered with brands in food, gardening, and home goods—especially those passionate about sustainability—and has been featured in commercials and TV appearances, including HGTV and Condé Nast Bon Appétit. The blog has also received worldwide print attention from The New York Times, for its focus on sustainable, waste-free living.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener with acres of land, a city-dweller with a few pots on a fire escape or rooftop, or just someone looking for real recipes that fit into real life, Brooklyn Farm Girl is here to inspire, guide, and help you turn everyday ingredients into something delicious.
