Located on 2 acres at the Sisters of St. Joseph in Brentwood, our organic farm provides both a learning model and increased access to healthy produce for Long Islanders impacted by food insecurity.
Key Highlights:
- Educational Model: Teaches children, adults, and community groups how to grow fresh produce.
- Annual Impact: Educates 1,300+ people on sustainable growing techniques through hands-on demos and volunteer events, including school and youth groups and corporate teams across the island.
- Fresh Produce: In 2024, we grew 60 varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, with special attention to culturally diverse offerings, yielding 18,000+ pounds of produce.
- Food Distribution: Produce is distributed directly to our network of 300 food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Network partners visit the farm and pick their produce for their neighbors too!
