Volunteer

Help us to sow flower seeds, harvest and process produce, and set up the Farmstand. Please wear closed-toed shoes, weather-appropriate attire, and bring a water bottle. Volunteer hours: 10am - 1pm

Take a Workshop

This Saturday, Discover Natural Dyeing with Sandy Hartmannsgruber! Come discover the magic of placing white yarn into a hot pot of color, and take home a brilliant shade of goldenrod yellow, shining magenta, and indigo blue. We will dye wool with turmeric, cochineal, and indigo, and explore the transformative nature of fibers in this vibrant workshop. Workshop beings at 2pm.

Shop the Farmstand

Swing by between 12pm - 4pm to pick up some early summer produce -- including Red Russian and Lacinato Kale; Golden and Red Ace Beets; and Green Wave Mustard greens -- and then have it prepared by the Mobile Kitchen Cart, a special visitor from Germany! For this Saturday only, The Mobile Kitchen Cart -- part kitchen and part art -- will be offering a "cook together" alongside the Farmstand, as part of their New York tour. Farmstand is open 12pm - 4pm

All activities will take place at the farm. The farm is located inside the park, at the intersection of State Street and Pearl Street. For more information, view our new website, or check out the full line-up of workshops at upcoming Battery Urban Farm Saturdays.
