Urban Farms
We operate one urban farm and a learning garden in East New York to increase access to locally grown produce, as well as to provide opportunities to learn, gather, and volunteer. Our farms and gardens produce over 70 varieties of cultural relevant foods and serve as spaces to bring the community together by hosting educational workshops, farm tours and volunteer days.
2024 Milestones
ENY Youth Farm
The ENY Youth Farm, established in 2000, is a dynamic 1/2 acre site where we grow organic produce for our Farmers Market, provide garden beds for community members to grow in, house a beehive, and serve as a learning and training space for our Youth Program.
Our Youth Internship Program runs yearly from March to November where we hire 25 youth and teach them organic farming techniques and grow healthy, chemical-free food to sell at our Saturday and Wednesday farmers markets. For more information, visit the internship page.
The ENY Youth Farm hosts open volunteer days the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 11am to 1pm, and every Wednesday from 11am-1pm. To schedule an exclusive work day and tour for your group, contact Alexx, Farm Manager, at [email protected].
Spring Creek Learning Garden
Welcome to the Spring Creek Learning Garden, a space for learning and community connection. Located behind the Freeport Loop on Louisiana Ave, this collaborative project between East New York Farms and The Opportunity Hub is a resource for the residents of Spring Creek Towers to enjoy.
The Spring Creek Learning Garden serves as a hub for environmental education, partnering with P.S. 346, JASA Spring Creek, and Spring Creek Senior Partners to offer learning opportunities for all ages. From schoolchildren to seniors, everyone is welcome to explore and learn about healthy eating and sustainable living.
The Spring Creek Learning Garden hosts open volunteer days every Thursday from 10am-12pm. To schedule an garden work day and tour for your group, contact Dontez, Garden Educator, at [email protected].
