“Living History at Crossroads Farm in Malverne”
Leonore Russell, Education Director
The Grossmann family farmed this land for more than one hundred years. In 2010, Nassau County
purchased Grossmann’s Farm for open space. Since then the farm has been stewarded by the Nassau Land Trust, a private non-profit organization that preserves land in Nassau County. Crossroads Farm, a project of the Nassau Land Trust, is a NOFA-certified organic farm serving the public, schools, and individuals.
Join Leonore Russell, one of the founding members and Education Director, for a talk and a tour starting at 2 p.m. Learn about the history of the land dating back to the Native Americans and the stewardship of the Grossmann family. Enjoy a stroll through the orchard, produce fields, herb and flower gardens. Visit the beehive and compost operations. The Farm Stand will be open for us from 3 to 3:30 p.m. where you can shop the offerings featuring the Farm’s organic produce, seeds, and honey, as well as products from local farms.
Children are welcome—special activities for them will be organized by the Farm staff.
Invite your friends. To plan for your visit, we request advance reservations by Thursday, May 2.
Call Madalyn Klein: 917-742-5229 or email her at: Mad4tango27@me.com with the number
of adults and the ages of the children. The program is outside; dress for the weather.
