The Wyckoff House Museum team stewards 1.5 acres of some of the last remaining undeveloped farmland in Brooklyn. Our park and gardens serve as both an inroad to Brooklyn’s agrarian past as well as a contemporary neighborhood resource for urban green space, sustainability, garden education, and food access.

Compost Corner
The Wyckoff Farm accepts household food scrap drop-offs any time, year-round!
We will gladly accept food scraps and household organic waste such as: fruit & vegetable peels, tea bags, coffee grounds, egg shells, plant & grass clippings, grains, and nuts.
Make sure that rubber bands and produce stickers are removed before drop-off.
Products containing meat, dairy, eggs, or bones; compostable bags, plates, or utensils; or pet waste and litter. No commercial or bulk compost drop offs.
When park gates are open, use the blue bin inside gate, to the left, labeled “Food Scraps.”
When park gates are close, drop bagged household food scraps in the mustard yellow newspaper box that reads, New York Compost, outside the gate .
Depending on our current reserve and resources, we are able to distribute small bags of compost to community members to enrich your home garden. Email garden@wyckoffmuseum.org to check availability. Stay tuned for announcement on DSNY bagged compost giveaway in summer of 2025.
