Snug Harbor runs a working urban farm on its own grounds, and the farm stand sells what was pulled out of that soil the same morning rather than trucked in from upstate. Early September is peak: tomatoes, peppers, herbs and cut flowers, all grown within sight of where you are standing. If you are already crossing for the gardens or the art installations, this is the stop that sends you home with something.
What to expect
A seasonal produce stand at Heritage Farm on the Snug Harbor campus, stocked from that week's harvest. Expect vegetables, herbs and cut flowers, with what is available shifting week to week. The farm itself is visible around the stand, which is the point.
