CAPSTONE is a non-profit in the Lower 9th Ward. Capstone is a small non profit that has taken previously blighted or vacant lots in the Lower Ninth Ward and developed them into productive gardens and orchards. Located in part of a food desert, Capstone grows and provides food at no cost to those who need it. Capstone also assists others in starting their own gardens or allows others to garden on their lots when space is available.

Your hive adoption and donation supports their mission to grow food on previously vacant lots and share it with those in need. It also supports other Capstone programs which empower others to grow their own food.

Capstone Raw Honey is only put through a strainer to ensure it retains all of its natural goodness. It is never ultra-filtered, heated, or diluted with high fructose corn syrup.

Each harvest is kept separate and each jar labeled showing the month and year of harvest. Each floral season gives our honey a unique color and flavor. It also contains different pollens from the different times of the year if you are using it for allergy relief.

Krishna Flyer Spurs Controversy

April 7, 2012 by admin

2012 Krishna flyer below

<---Click on the 2012 Krishna flyer for a larger view.

The flyer from the Krishnas that you can view in the link below specifically mentions that the court case affects their ability to sell food. The city council passed a law cracking down on aggressive solicitation, and the Hare Krishnas are seeking to have it overturned.

https://fsjna.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/krishna-restaurant-2012.jpg

The Krishnas are filing Civil Action Number 71-684. The Deputy City Attorneys came to the following conclusion concerning this issue:
CONCLUSION
The plaintiffs have failed to plead that they have standing in the present action and have failed to plead a cause of action. The Aggressive Solicitation Ordinance does not violate the plaintiffs First Amendment rights as it places reasonable content-neutral time, manner and place restrictions that serve a compelling governmental interest. Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Complaint ought to be dismissed. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ACTUAL COURT DOCUMENTS

https://fsjna.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KRISHNA-COURT-CASE2.pdf

In the link please find the plaintiff’s argument (Krishnas) and the defendants response (City of NO). The Krishnas filed their complaint in response to City Ordinance 28682 which prohibits agressive solicitation. The ordinance is also included in the PDF.

The Krishnas distributed the flyer in the link below in order to drum up support. The flyer states, “Judge Lemmon will make very important decisions which determine whether the Hare Krishnas can collect funds for their free food programs.”

Based on the misleading information distributed in the Krishna flyer, neighbors voiced their concerns. FSJNA obtained the court documents in this link on April 9, 2012 and the issue was discussed at the April 9, 2012 FSJNA Board meeting.

1983

Residents claim the Krishnas at 2936 Esplanade Avenue have caused parking problems, committed building code violations, stripped gardens to decorate their altar and brought transients into the neighborhood with their free meal program.

On September 19, 1983, the Krishnas appeared before the Board of Zoning Adjustments asking to build a small addition to their temple. The board denied the request, in part because the addition would have extended over the Krishna’s property line.

Members of the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association appeared at the meeting with a petition signed by 46 residents, saying the Krishnas are a detriment to the neighborhood.

The Krishnas own the Esplanade temple and rent 22 apartments in 10 buildings in the vacinity, most of them on Gayoso, Desoto and Crete streets. In New Orleans, it is illegal for more than four unrelated adults to live together.

2007

Neighbors report:
Krishnas yelling to get each other’s attention at all hours of the night, play loud music, use vacuum cleaners on the cabs at 3 am and park next to fire hydrants and in driveways of others.

2012

The flyer from the Krishnas that you can view in the link below specifically mentions that the court case affects their ability to sell food. The city council passed a law cracking down on aggressive solicitation, and the Hare Krishnas are seeking to have it overturned.

The Krishnas add to the eclectic mix of people in Faubourg St. John but the neighbors don’t like the negative impact their actions have on the quality of life in their neighborhood.
