The Farm at Millers Crossing is our primary partner farm, working to provide Flatbush and other nearby Brooklyn Neighborhoods vegetable shares for decades.
The Farm at Miller’s Crossing is a beautiful 200-acre farm situated in the Hudson Valley of New York. The Agawamuck Creek divides the farm providing water for the animals and plants that are raised there. The old Albany-Boston Rail bed remains on the northwestern end of the property, providing the name Miller’s Crossing, which was the stop and original address of this 200 year old farm.
We grow certified organic vegetables, plants and flowers; raise a small grass fed beef herd; and make maple syrup and maple products. The farm has 60 acres of vegetables within a 100-acre rotation, as well as 75 acres of pasture for our cows. Our greenhouse provides room to grow the farm’s transplants and bedding plants for sale. Our produce is marketed through member CSAs, the Hudson Farmers’ Market, and numerous wholesale accounts. Such diversified markets allow us to grow many different types of vegetables all season long.

Flatbush Community Harvest is happy to partner with Jeff at Sunset Farm to offer farm fresh eggs and honey to our members.
The McMurry Family—Jeff, his wife Cathy and their son Joe—produces Five Acre Farms Local Eggs from cage free hens on their 80-acre farm in Argyle, New York. Their eggs are gathered to order and packed by hand.
The flock at McMurry’s Sunset Farm is made up of Red Star hens, which are friendly and curious by nature. The hens have their own personalities, greet Jeff by perching on his shoulder or playfully pecking at his hat and make a gentle purring sound when you pick them up.
Flatbush Community Harvest is partnering with Samascott Orchards in 2025 for the fruit share we're pleased to offer our members.
Samascott Orchards is currently operated by 4th generation family members who plan to do everything to keep the farm, their land and their practices, healthy and safe for the future generations.
Samascott does not grow any GMOs (genetically modified organisms). They emphasize the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourage natural pest control through constant scouting, small plantings, diversity, use of cover crops and crop rotation. They do not use any pesticides unnecessarily although do use preventative fungicides for keeping plants free of diseases. Whenever possible they plant disease resistant varieties that don’t require a lot of inputs and are always looking for new, safer pesticide formulations.
Our sister CSAs report that Fruit shares poundage is equivalent or more than what you would get at market value. It IS an apple orchard, so you will be getting a LOT of apples, but the share also has included rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, and other fruits as the particular time and growing season allows.
