Our Collaborators

Sky Farm LIC enjoys collaborations that help us run all aspects of our agricultural programs. These collaborators make it possible for us to have 6 beehives that produce over 60 pounds of honey a year for VBGCQ families, and three working compost bins that provide compost both to our farm and other local green spaces.

Our Agricultural Program Collaborators

ASTOR APIARIES is an urban beekeeping business that cares for all 6 of the beehives on the farm. They also use SFLIC as a venue to conduct their Urban Beekeeping Academy, which helps trains now and future beekeepers in the city.

The honey harvested from our beehives is used during SFLIC programs and given away for free twice yearly to the families of VBGCQ.
