EARTH DAY CELEBRATION AT CROPSEY FARM

After a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, Cropsey Community Farm in Blauvelt has reopened to the public and will be hosting an Earth Day volunteer event Friday, April 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Cropsey family, which had farmed the land when New York was still an English colony, sold their 25-acre farm in 2015 to Rockland County and the town of Clarkstown. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Cropsey Farm offers a community shared agriculture program, partnering with the 300-acre Liberty Farms in Ghent this year. Cropsey Farm continues to offer a variety of agricultural programs under the direction of the Rockland Farm Alliance
