Internationally renowned auction house, Sotheby's, is putting heirloom veggies, proteins, and perhaps even a live farm animal or two on the auction block. This is the second annual foodie auction, and the proceeds will benefit the NYC local food movement.
The beneficiaries are Grow NYC, who run New York's Green Markets and the Sylvia center, educational organization, who inspire kids to learn about local food and beyond.
