The Randall’s Island Park Alliance’s Urban Farm is a 40,000 square foot environmentally sustainable farm and outdoor classroom at Randall’s Island Park. Since its inception in 2006, the Urban Farm has grown in size and scope—now featuring over 100 raised beds, two greenhouses, four rice paddies, and a small fruit tree orchard. With over 200 varieties of fruits and vegetables from around the world, the Urban Farm provides visitors across New York City with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of where food comes from. Through hands-on classes and free public events focused on sustainability,

cooking, planting, and composting, farm visitors of all ages can explore locally grown food in an urban environment.

School groups can visit the Urban Farm through our Edible Education Program. In addition, the public is invited to visit for our annual special events, weekend workshops, volunteer days, and open hours during the growing season.
The Urban Farm is located at the southern end of the island, adjacent to the Park’s playground, a picnic area, playing fields and comfort station.
