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:
City Growers educators will meet your group in the lobby of the Liberty Brooklyn Building, in the food court area. Participants will then ride the passenger elevator directly to the roof.

Lunch Notes

Lunch Notes
We can’t host your group on the roof for lunch due to other programming in our shared space, but the ground floor has a food court with a pizza shop called Table 87, offering pizza, drinks, and snacks. There are also tables and seating areas for your group to utilize for packed lunches.

There are other food and eating location options a short walk away from the farm! Here are some recommendations

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 is all gendered bathroom (2 stalls) located on the roof of the farm. Great for emergencies, but takes a long time for the entire class to use the bathroom. We recommend that your students use the bathroom before coming to the farm to maximize our time together

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.

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.
