Creative Mothers Day Gift Ideas at the Farmstand!
Get a gift that shows your mother that you appreciate her.
For the mom that enjoys cooking we have beautiful and unusual spices from Crimson and Clove and spice rubs and marinades from Wally’s Spotted Dog Organics. For those mothers that enjoy a little pampering we have artisanal soaps, balms and lotions from Karmic Alchemy. For the gardener, (I hope my daughter is reading this), purchase some of Crossroads own beautiful organic herb and vegetable starts for the homestead. For the mom that loves a little sweet treat, we have apple fritters, apple cider doughnuts, pies and cakes from Papa’s Country Porch. Of course, if she loves to shop purchase Crossroads CSA booklets in $50 and $100 denominations. These are perfect for the thrifty mothers too! You get $55 worth of coupons for your $50 purchase and $110 worth of coupons for your $100 purchase. Plus you get 10% off all your farmstand purchases when using the booklets.
If you need local produce and products for your dinner table, we have that too!
Many plants and flowers available at the farm this weekend, purchase 2 gal. size roses, annuals including impatiens, marigolds, begonias, pansies, and more. Buy annuals by the flat or single cell. We also have a variety of hanging baskets including impatiens, petunias, and fuschias. Please stop in to purchase these beautiful Spring flowers for your home and garden. They’re a great gift for the mother who gardens or for the mother that just enjoys their natural beauty and fragrance!
The blueprints are off the drawing board, the foundation is poured, and we are underway! The farm will have a new warming kitchen and rest room building in 2017 — with your help.
We still need to raise some funds.
This is a great way to make a difference with a financial contribution to something tangible and permanent. This structure will upgrade our physical plant and will allow us to host catered affairs, do light food and meal prep for the store and events, provide the modern conveniences for staff and visitors, and more.

You can also mail a check to the Nassau Land Trust, 2417 Jericho Turnpike, Garden City Park, NY 11040. All contributions are 100% tax deductible. The NLT is a New York State 501(c)(3) non-profit. We receive no public money for running the farm and must therefore raise all funds necessary for operations and capital improvements. Our break-even annual operating budget is about $250,000.
