Description

City Growers uses urban agriculture to engage youth in experiential learning, nurturing a lifelong relationship to food, their health, and the natural world. We host field trips for youth at Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farms in Sunset Park, and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

GETTING HERE:
A City Growers educator will meet your group at the Captain America statue inside the mall entrance to Bed Bath and Beyond. Participants will then ride the passenger elevator directly to the roof.

Lunch Notes

We cannot host your group on the roof for lunch due to other events happening on the roof. There is a food court open to the public on the ground floor of the building. There are tables and chairs, and benches for sitting and there is a pizza shop!

Other nearby options that we would recommend are:

Japan village, a few blocks down 3rd avenue from the farm. It’s a
Japanese food court which has public seating in the back if you walk
through the court.

D’Emic playground - also a few blocks down 3rd avenue from the farm. A public playground with space to eat packed lunches!

Greenwood Cemetery Park - beautiful cemetery/ park that is a few blocks away from the farm as well. great place to eat packed lunches

Bathroom Notes

There are binary gendered bathrooms on the second floor of the mall where the farm is located. There is also all gendered bathroom (2 stalls) located on the farm that uses a 5-digit access code.

Cancellation Policy

City Growers requires at least 2 weeks notice from the visiting group to cancel a workshop without penalty. Cancellations made by the visiting group within 2 weeks of a scheduled workshop require a cancellation fee of 30% of the total cost.

For weather-related cancellations: In the event of a thunderstorm, severe heat advisory, or other weather-related concern, we will reschedule the workshop without penalty. We have ponchos available for light rain. Please email info@citygrowers.org if you need to reschedule.

For COVID-related cancellations: If you need to cancel due to a COVID-related reason, you can do so without penalty and we will do our best to reschedule your workshop. If we can’t reschedule it, we will reimburse you.

Please note: Brooklyn Grange is a working farm, and on rare occasions, the needs of the farm (agricultural inspections, events, construction, etc.) will force us to cancel a scheduled workshop. We understand that scheduling is difficult and can offer to reschedule your workshop, in the event of a farm-related cancelation.
