Growing through the Winter!

New Cold Frame Debut! This year we a proud to debut our new cold frames which allow us to extend the season a little longer, and start a little earlier. Currently we are growing mixed salad greens and chard. The cold frames are made out of PVC pipes and paint tarps, a cheap and easy construction method, costing about $40 a frame and taking a couple hours to build. We plan on building more in the spring and jumping into the warm weather with a bang. Come and stop by to see them and taste our delicious greens.

Plus we are pretty sure the back in the day the Wyckoff Farm was covered in cold frames, growing produce to be sold at market through December.

New Farm Director

The Wyckoff Community Demonstration Garden welcomes our New Farm Director, Lizzie Ayer! Lizzie is coming to us from frosty Michigan, where she worked as the New Garden Development Coordinator for Growing Hope, a community gardening organization based in Ypsilanti, MI. This is her first time in the big city, and she is excited to work on making the garden a truly community space, with lots of fun and educational events. Please stop by to say hi, and tell her what you would like to see happen at the garden in the following year.

A little bit about her: she loves spending time playing in the dirt with kids and eating delicious fresh veggies. Outside of work she spends her time riding her bike, sewing, reading about alternative economics, and trying to make new friends.

Wyckoff Farmer's Market!

Wyckoff Farmer's Market
Every Sunday from June-October

Fresh, organic vegetables and herbs grown in the Community Demonstration Garden are sold at a weekly farmers’ market on site. Additional fresh fruit and vegetables from a pair of upstate farmers are also sold at the market.

Look for the bright orange tents on Clarendon Road near Ralph Avenue. The market is operated by the Wyckoff Farmhouse Gardener, Market and Outreach Coordinator, and the Garden Interns. Produce varieties are available seasonally and all of the produce is harvested fresh and is local in origin.
