STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — While the nasty weather bespeaks of winter, Mother Nature says otherwise at the Heritage Farm, a two-acre patch of land in Livingston. Tender shoot and blooms shout “spring!” at the resident urban farm in the heart of Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens.
In addition to lettuces and herbs on the way this spring, the Heritage grower, Ezra Pasackow reports new additions to anticipated crops — ginger, potatoes, okra, and more herbs. As the season revs up, Staten Islanders can expect typical yields of tomatoes, summer squash, garlic, salad greens, and popular picnic peppers.
Spots are still available for the Community Sourced Agriculture (CSA) starting June 2, although slots are limited. In the meantime, a rep for Snug announced food scrap collection will resume at the farm stands at both Heritage and the St. George Greenmarket on Saturdays and Thursdays.
In more farm buzz: there is potential for a much-requested honey harvest this year, although a beekeeper rep reports it’s too early to say what production will be like at this early point.
