On Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Crossroads welcomes the public with a day of activities and demonstrations including:
Bedding plants and flowers will be on sale, but it’s still too early for much Malverne-grown produce. However, the farm will be hosting a “made-on-Long Island” market featuring 12 Long local bakers and artisans including Long Island’s own itinerant cheesemonger, Mark Cassin (aka The Big Cheese).
Also for sale: shares in the farm’s own CSA, or community supported agriculture.
In the case of rain, the celebration will be Sunday, April 22. Check the farm’s Facebook page for updates and future events.
From now until Memorial Day, the farm will be open on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. From Memorial Day through November, weekend hours will stay the same but it will be open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
