“The Queens Farmstand is more than a place to shop—it’s a celebration of seasonal abundance and local agriculture,” stated Queens Farm Executive Director David Hughes. “When you purchase from the Farmstand, you’re supporting regenerative farming practices, local and affordable fresh food access, and the stewardship of NYC’s longest continuously farmed site.”
More than 200 varieties of flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables grow at Queens Farm which has been operating since 1697 and is NYC’s largest remaining homestead and only working, undisturbed farm.
