Happy Easter and Happy Passover!<\/span><\/p>\n

These are tough times for all of us and finding fresh, local food items can be challenging.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Crossroads Farm is pleased to announce that we will be teaming up with G&G Long Island Farmer’s Market<\/a> to host a pop-up market at the Farm on Saturday, April 18th, from 9 to 1.<\/strong>\u00a0 The event will include numerous local food vendors who source across Long Island and the Hudson Valley.\u00a0 \u00a0Crossroads will also be selling our garden-ready seedlings and local honey.\u00a0 Once the list of participating merchants and producers is firmed up over the next few days, we will send an update.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join us for this local market event coming right up on Saturday, April 18th!<\/strong>\u00a0 This is the first opportunity to pick up farm seedlings and will support the local market purveyors we are hosting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Holding this market (and others to be announced) aligns with our plans for limiting public events during this time of social distancing and conforms to CDC and State of New York guidelines.\u00a0 The food products will be individually packaged and the folks at the tables will be wearing masks and asking customers to shop at each table one at a time.\u00a0 Please be respectful of others as you visit the farm, do not come in groups, and consider wearing a mask.\u00a0 As previously reported and to bolster the safety of our staff and community, the farm is generally closed to visitors and that policy will continue until further notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, seeding and field work are well underway!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For greenhouse work, we owe particular thanks to our amazing executive volunteer, Kathy Francos. Kathy has provided great greenhouse management and has worked tirelessly to get seeds into trays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\nKathy Francos and Annie Sunshine<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In the field, in addition to our lead farm hand Rowdy, we have Rich, Frank and Joe who are busy prepping and planting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
