It’s the time of year when we look forward to eating some of the best locally-grown produce, and the farm stand at the Hilltop Hanover Farm & Environmental Center farm opened for the season June 4 with fresh kale and plenty of vegetable and flower starts that can be grown at home. The seedlings were started with volunteer groups who help out at the farm.
Hilltop Hanover Farm, a 180-acre former dairy farm, was purchased by the county in 2003 for agricultural preservation, drinking water protection and the promotion of environmental stewardship through demonstration projects and sustainability programs.
All produce is grown on the farm without the use of pesticides, synthesized fertilizers or herbicides. Vegetable and flower starts will also be available at the farm stand. You can check the website weekly for available produce. To find out more visit the website at www.hilltophanoverfarm.org.
Admission is free.
Spring and summer hours are Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Farm is closed to the public Sundays and Mondays unless noted for special events. Trails are open year-round from dawn to dusk.
The Farm is located at 1271 Hanover Street in Yorktown Heights. It can be reached via the Taconic State Parkway. Take the Millwood/Route 100 exit to Route 100 north. Turn left onto Route 118. Make a right onto Hanover Street. The farm is on the left. For more information on the farm or upcoming programs, events, and demonstrations, visit www.hilltophanoverfarm.org or call (914) 962-2368.
