Volunteer at Queens Farm: Cultivator Crew

  • Queens County Farm Museum 37-73 Little Neck Parkway Little Neck, NY, 11363 United States (map)

Queens Farm welcomes individuals (ages 18 & older) to work alongside our farmers in the growing fields through our Cultivator Crew Volunteer Days. Volunteer days & time slots are Tuesdays 10am-12pm & 1pm-4pm and Sundays 1pm-4pm, and must be pre-selected as spaces are limited. Volunteering at Queens Farm is a great way to meet your neighbors, enjoy the great outdoors, and learn about sustainable agriculture at NYC's working farm.

Planning your visit:

  • Prepare to get dirty! Wear proper outdoor work attire (hat, sunglasses, layers, rain gear, gardening gloves, closed-toed shoes, etc.).

  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

  • Bring snacks/lunch with you (there is no cafe on site).

  • Tasks are often physically strenuous, and can include weeding, mulching, turning compost, or harvesting, depending on the needs of the farm that day.

  • No experience necessary.

  • Volunteers are encouraged to stay for the whole time slot.

  • Free street parking along Little Neck Pkwy; Accessible by public transit (Q46 bus to Little Neck Parkway or LIRR to Floral Park station & taxi ride).

  • Queens Farm has public restrooms on site.

  • Rain or shine.

  • Personal care: If you are sick, please stay home for your health and the health of others.

Please note:

  • Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.

  • We cannot accommodate groups on Volunteer days at this time.

  • Activities do not include hands-on work with our livestock; only field work.
