The Nov. 4 Farm Stand offers produce grown at Queens Botanical Garden on a sliding-scale donation basis. The farm’s composting cycle and Queens-focused growing approach provide context, but the week’s crops are not listed.

At Queens Botanical Garden’s one-acre farm, food scraps and garden clippings can become part of the next growing season: the Garden composts organic material on site, uses it to support the soil, and composts spent plants in turn. The Nov. 4 Farm Stand offers the farm’s produce on a donation basis, though its listing does not name the week’s crops.
Founded in 2013, QBG Farm covers one acre at Queens Botanical Garden. The Garden turns food scraps, yard trimmings, woodchips and leaves collected on site into compost for the farm. This material adds nutrients to the soil and supports beneficial fungi and bacteria.
After harvest, spent farm plants are composted and returned to the soil as part of preparing it for the next growing season.

The farm grows a variety of fruits and vegetables selected to reflect the cultural diversity of Queens. For the stand, the event listing describes produce grown on site using organic and regenerative practices. It invites visitors to see that week’s harvest, but does not identify specific items or quantities, so shoppers cannot plan around a published crop list.
The farm also sends surplus produce to local food pantries; Queens Botanical Garden reports donating more than 6,000 pounds in 2023. Its wider work includes education about urban agriculture, food systems, food justice and environmental stewardship. Those are broader farm aims, not additional activities promised at the Nov. 4 stand.

The date-specific page lists Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, from 2 to 5 p.m. It describes a weekly recurrence with an end date of Nov. 19; the Garden’s event calendar separately lists Nov. 11 and Nov. 18 as later Wednesday occurrences.
There is a difference between the event and farm overview hours: the event page gives this stand a 2 p.m. start, while the farm overview describes regular Wednesday hours as 3–5 p.m. Use the date-specific listing for Nov. 4 and check the current listing if you plan to attend another week.

The Nov. 4 page describes a chance to see the current harvest but does not name the fruits or vegetables available. The Garden also provides no quantities or fixed-item prices, so the listing cannot confirm whether a particular crop will be there.
Queens Botanical Garden lists free admission on Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m.; free hours may be suspended on special-event days. The event page does not say whether Garden admission is needed to reach the terrace before 3 p.m. The Garden’s general November hours are 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., while the Farm Stand listing runs until 5 p.m.; the sources do not explain that difference. Check with the Garden if either the before-3 p.m. entry question or the final half-hour affects your plans.
For general admission from April through Dec. 15, the Garden lists $6 for adults; $4 for seniors age 62 and older, students with ID, and individuals with disabilities; and $2 for children ages 4–12. Children 3 and younger and members enter free. Groups of 10 or more receive 10% off. These are general Garden rates, not a stated Farm Stand ticket or charge; the admission page notes that separate-fee programs are not included in Garden admission.

The parking entrance is at 42-80 Crommelin Street, distinct from the Main Garden Entrance. The Garden says parking is available during its open hours. Listed per-vehicle fees, including tax, are $8 on weekdays, $10 on weekends and holiday Mondays, and $15 on special-event or program days; rates are subject to change. Members receive $2 off parking fees. The Garden does not specify which rate applies to the Farm Stand. Accessible parking is in Bay 1.
Garden-wide accessibility information says most paths are paved and the grounds are generally level; the Woodland Trail, Fragrance Walk and Herb Garden Bridge have unpaved paths. Mobility devices may be used on public pedestrian routes. Wheelchairs are available first-come, first-served at the Main Street Entrance, Parking Garden Entrance and Visitor & Administration Building. Borrowing one requires a valid driver’s license or government-issued photo ID, which is held until the chair is returned.
Restrooms are accessible by the ramp beside the Visitor & Administration Building; restrooms inside that building are available when it is open. Braille signage is used throughout the building. Pets are not permitted, but service animals are allowed under ADA rules. The Garden does not describe a stand-specific accessible route.
