Farmhouse Family Day: Compost Adventure

Get your hands dirty with a fun composting workshop at Wyckoff’s August Family Day! Join Farmer Zach at our garden compost piles, where you’ll learn how to make and sift your own compost. Explore our farm and Worm Bin, and enjoy fun worm-themed arts and crafts projects for all ages. You can also tour our historic home, play with outdoor toys and games, and do a scavenger hunt.

NYC Department of Sanitation will be on hand for a Community Compost Giveback. Reservations for compost pickup are currently full, any bags that have not been picked up by 1PM will be released to the public at a first-come first-served basis.
