Welcome to Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum
Wyckoff Farmhouse is one of the last few farms left in New York City. It is also one the oldest New York City landmarks when the Dutch settled in Brooklyn around the 1600s. The City cut funding back in 2013 and the farmland was left unkept for about two years. They decided to hire Ann Marie Rubin part time. She is a legal attorney for GreenWorks and maintains the garden along with her garden apprentices including myself. Our mission is to provide a safe green space for all to enjoy. While establishing a greener environment to help bring together people of all cultures with all different levels of socioeconomic statuses.
Notes from the garden coming soon!
