Forget the hipster backlash: it’s come to a point where the *backlash* is getting its backlash, and all the familiar tropes of urban-farming, homesteading, and eating only sustainably foraged organic dewdrops are cool again. Here’s how to go fashionably conscious in 1 week: Go party with urban farmers in Dumbo; eat an organic, fresh Australian dinner in NoHo; get complimentary styling by celeb-studded sustainable hair studio in SoHo; and snap up some artisan baubles at Lauren Bush Lauren’s FEED store. If it’s good enough for the First Niece turned model turned Fashion Princess, it’s good enough for you.
Urban farmers unite for this delicious fest in Dumbo, featuring sustainably farmed eats, freely flowing beer, and some liquor even. Don your plaid shirt and make friends with your hunky local farmer!
