About

As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on another incredible season at Crossroads Farm, a season full of hard work, dedication, and the support of an extraordinary community.

​

This year wouldn’t have been possible without our remarkable field crew, retail staff, educators, volunteers, and board members, all of whom worked tirelessly to keep the farm thriving. To our loyal customers, the Village of Malverne, and Nassau County officials your steadfast support fuels our mission. We also extend heartfelt gratitude to our partners at the Greentree Foundation and Northwell LIJ of Valley Stream, whose collaboration helped us deliver fresh produce to hospital patients, nourishing people when they needed it most.

​

A special thank you to Smile Farms for their partnership in empowering young adults with disabilities through agricultural education and employment opportunities. Educational programming has flourished this year as we welcomed Girl Scouts of Nassau County, local school districts, university students, and summer campers. They have all benefited from growing experiential learning opportunities, enjoying meaningful connections with the land, plants, and each other.

​

The dedication of local restaurants to sourcing and serving our fresh, nutrient-dense produce is a testament to the growing commitment to local and sustainable agriculture. And, of course, we thank Mother Nature for her gifts, which make every harvest possible.

​

As winter approaches, people often ask, “What do you do over the winter?” The truth is, these colder months are a time for rest, reflection, planning, and preparation. The bountiful harvests, successful events, community engagement, and educational programming that our community enjoys all take shape during this quiet season.

​

From all of us at Crossroads Farm, we wish you a blessed holiday season and a happy New Year. Thank you for making 2024 so memorable, and remember spring will be here before we know it!

​

Warmest regards,
The Crossroads Farm Team

STAFF PICK:

 

As Crossroads Farm settles in for the winter, we’re thrilled to see our produce continue to make its way to local plates—this time at Malverne’s newest gem, Harvest House!

​

Harvest House will be featuring our storage crops throughout the winter season, so even while the farm is closed, you can still enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of our labor. If you’re looking for the perfect meal loaded with our produce, we recommend this four-course delight:

​

• Start: Endive Salad – Crisp and refreshing with our farm-fresh endive. (Our Radicchio, Beets, and Briermere Farms Pears)

• Main: Toasted Cappelletti – A cozy, flavorful dish featuring some of our seasonal ingredients. (Our Butternut Squash)

• Side: Squash Caponata - A delicious mix of Butternut, Delicata, Acorn, Kobocha and Autumn Frost winter squash all sourced from Crossroads Farm.

• Dessert: Gingerbread Cake – A sweet vegan finish that perfectly balances the flavors of the season. (Our Butternut Squash)​

​

Of course, whatever you choose, you can feel good knowing there’s likely a little Crossroads Farm on your plate.

Support local, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate the connection between the farm and the community this winter.

 

Bon appétit!
