New Kitchen Building:  Work Continues

 

There’s so much a buzz at the farm that each day brings new activity.

Dennis and Danny of Scully’s Plumbing & Heating are hard at work getting the house trap installed in the new kitchen building. We are so grateful to all the trades that come here to support our 2017 farm initiatives.

Please help us get the kitchen building completed and make 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.

Click the link below to help us build in 2017! 

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.


The Beautification Initiative Continues
 
The farm store is looking fresh, there’s new trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and flowers all along Hempstead Ave. and in the beds around the barn.  Today, the new patio is completed. It takes a village and a lot of hard work to keep this initiative moving forward but the outcome is worth the wait and effort.
To learn more about the Crossroads Farm Beautification Initiative, and to make donations, please visit or contact Joseph DeVito at White House Home 288 Hempstead Avenue Malverne NY 11565 917.226.3732.

Want to get involved?  Want to make a difference at the farm and in your community?  We have a vibrant and well organized volunteer program.  Maybe this is the year for you to get get your hands in the dirt and to help sustain this unique and exciting project.  Without volunteers, we couldn’t get all the work done.  We are truly a community effort!
