Alexandria Simmons+FollowMeet Crown Heights’ own chicken manJust steps from Lubavitcher World Headquarters, Daniel Yeroshalmi is quietly transforming a Brooklyn backyard into a mini-urban farm—complete with 20 hens, homemade birdhouses, and fruit trees from his family’s Iranian roots. He’s not just raising chickens; he’s composting, growing sunflowers, and giving local kids their first taste of farm life. Despite some neighbors’ confusion (and the occasional possum attack), Daniel’s passion for animals and green spaces is sparking curiosity and conversation. Would you support more urban homesteads like this in NYC? What would you grow or raise if you had the space? #Business #Industry #CrownHeights00Share
