Join Us on Saturday, April 21st for Opening Day Festivities!
Looking for something fun to do outdoors with your family on Saturday, April 21st between 12 noon and 5 pm? Plan to come to Crossroads Farms in Malverne for Opening and Earth Day fun for all. Adults have some Craft Beer and wine while your little ones play and learn. Plan to have lunch with us from the food trucks: Empanada Queen, Teriyaki Plus and Kona Ice. Here are some of the great things to participate in:
- Meet the beekeepers who make our local honey from 1- 3 pm.
- Outdoor Yoga anyone? Bring a mat or blanket and participate in a class by Revolution Yoga’s Allison Dash from 2-3 pm.
- Book Trade – have books you have completed or kids that have out grown you’d like to donate? Bring a book (or several) then select new ones. Any remaining books will be donated to The Book Fairies.
- Have an old T-shirt (or several) you’d like to repurpose … bring them and create a bag out of your old T-shirt. Come meet local couple Nicole and Matt as they teach you how to make your bag and some waste reducing tips.
- All day we will have samples galore from vendors that sell their wonderful products at Crossroads.
- Learn from Crossroads Farms Education Department about seed saving while you do it and then plant a seed to take home and watch grow.
- Have a Girl Scout in your home? Have her at the Farm prior to 12:30 pm to participate in an Earth Day Sign Language activity. Girl Scouts pay $10 for an opportunity to earn a badge from participating. Check the website for additional details and special Girl Scout pricing.
- Live music from The Project!

A Beautiful New Look for the Barn at Crossroads!
Boy Scout Troop 24 had a successful car wash fundraiser in March to raise money for paint and supplies to dress up the barn. They also power washed, scraped and sanded the building during three (3) visits to the Farm. The building is now ready for paint. Benny Montalbano of Elite Painting will professionally paint the barn with the assistance of the scouts this weekend.
We can only successful when we have the support and assistance of our community. We are so grateful to Boy Scout Troop 24 and Elite Painting for giving the barn a much needed face lift!
Here’s a rendering of the planned changes:
