The Snug Harbor Heritage Farm encompasses a 2.5-acre production farm that employs sustainable, low-till farming methods aimed at enhancing soil health through compost utilization, crop rotation, intercropping, cover cropping, and other indigenous growing techniques. With a commitment to cultural relevance and community engagement, the farm endeavors to furnish Staten Island and NYC residents with access to fresh, locally sourced produce while fostering educational opportunities, volunteerism, and internships. By championing small-scale agriculture, the farm seeks to contribute to a more equitable food system in the broader community.

Apprentices will actively participate in the farm's operations during the peak season, assisting in harvesting, washing, and packing produce destined for both market sales and CSA distribution. They will also play a role in maintaining crop health through integrated pest management (IMP), manual cultivation, and compost processing. Collaborating closely with staff, summer interns, and volunteers, apprentices may also have the chance to engage with customers at local markets, should they express interest.
