Urban Farms

We operate four urban agricultural spaces, which produce over 70 varieties of cultural relevant foods. Our farm spaces also serve to bring the community together by hosting educational workshops and volunteer days.

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 10am to 2pm, and every Wednesday from 11am-1pm. To schedule an exclusive work day and tour for your group, contact Alec at [email protected].

Pink Houses Community Farm

The Pink Houses Community Farm is a partnership between Pink Houses Resident Green Committee and East New York Farms! providing fresh food for the community.

In 2018, over 35 distributions were held at Pink Houses Community Farm, distributing 2460 pounds of food to over 900 residents. Food scraps can be dropped off year-round in the gray bin by the entrance of the farm.  Donating your food scraps help us produce compost for our farm to grow healthy produce organically!

The Pink Houses Community Farm hosts open volunteer days every Wednesday from 11 AM to 3 PM. To schedule an exclusive work day and tour for your group, contact Alec at [email protected]

Spring Creek Garden

The Spring Creek Learning Garden is a collaboration between East New York Farms and The Opportunity Hub, a Spring Creek-based community organization. Spring Creek Towers had operated a teaching garden for local school children for several years. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced it to close. In summer 2022, the Opportunity Hub reached out to East New York Farms to partner with them to bring the teaching garden back. The partnership was a great fit and in fall 2022, we rebuilt the garden. The space is welcome and inviting, with colorful garden beds and vibrant veggies growing. The Spring Creek Learning Garden currently works with PS 346 to provide environmental education opportunities for students. We hope to expand to other schools and community partnerships in the near future. We look forward to many years of this partnership, working with local school children, helping them grow their own vegetables, learn about healthy eating, and developing an appreciation for where their food comes from and the people who work the land to bring it to them.  

While the garden is not currently open to volunteers and community gardeners, we hope to expand community access in the near future. So stay posted!
