Farmstand

From spring through fall, visitors can shop at our Seasonal Farmstands at Queens Farm and Jamaica Hospital to stock up on a rich assortment of vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers grown in our fields. For the off-site farmstands Queens Farm produce travels less than 9 miles from field to Farmstand, which means fresher food with a higher nutritional value, minimizing our carbon footprint. Queens Farm produce is Certified Naturally Grown – the farm does NOT use pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals of any kind.*

Shopping at our Farmstand is a wonderful way to learn about which foods grow in your climate, connecting to the seasonality of plants. In the late springtime you can expect to see offerings like peas, carrots, and leafy greens. The summer features longer-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Then, fall brings autumn delights like Honeynut and Kabocha squash. Our small team of dedicated farmers is involved in every aspect of our growing operation – from propagating crops; to maintaining our fields; to harvesting and preparing items for market; and selling directly to our customers. We look forward to answering any questions that arise about our produce and our practices. 

Our on-site Farmstand is supported by Northwell Health, Queens Farm’s health and wellness partner. Monthly on Wednesdays from 11am to 1pm, June 19 through October 2, 2024, enjoy the Farm-to-Table Wellness Program featuring free recipes, cooking demonstrations, tastings, games, giveaways, and wellness tips curated by Northwell Health’s Food and Nutrition Services team.
