🌱 A GOLDEN day...29 on the 29th! Every tour is special for us, and this one seemed to be on a perfect day too! On October 29th, we welcomed the 1st and 2nd grade from P.S. 29 for a fun and informative Farm Tour. They enjoyed the view from Nicotra Grown Organic Rooftop Farm with smiles and excitement!

The day was filled with the wonderful smell of flowers, followed, of course, by delicious pizza from Pienza Brick Oven Pizza Café. 🍕

This was our last class trip of the season! We are now booking for 2025 - email 📧 [email protected] to book your tour or trip!

One of the spookiest and most unexpected things at Nicotra Grown Organic Rooftop Farm was the surprising sprouting of pumpkins! This beautiful pumpkin grew on its own, without even being planted. What is your favorite farm fresh fall produce? Share with us in the comments below. 🎃

What a SUNNY day we had with the 2nd graders from P.S. 13 at Nicotra Grown: Organic Rooftop Farm! The kids got their hands dirty, learned where their food sprouts from, saw some fresh radishes pulled right out of the ground, and had a "field" day of fun! 😎

Feeling hungry after all that Farm excitement? ‘Lettuce’ help you out! Head over to Pienza Brick Oven Pizza Café for a slice 🍕 as part of your trip! A perfect way to end a great adventure!

It’s always a pleasure welcoming cheerful spirited 4th graders to Nicotra Grown: Organic Rooftop Farm! 🌱✨ These young minds, from PS 54, were eager to learn about the beautiful art and flowers around Corporate Commons Three COMMONS café. Their curiosity about sustainable farming and planting organic produce right here in the heart and LOVE of the Island brought us immense joy. This is why we LOVE Staten Island what we do. After an exciting tour—and reaching the peak on Recycling Liberty—the students enjoyed delicious pizza and cookies from Pienza Brick Oven Pizza Café! 🍕💚

What a beautiful day we had on Nicotra Grown: Organic Rooftop Farm! Our lovely friends from Friends of Olmsted Beil House spent the morning exploring the Farm, enjoying the fresh air, and soaking up the sunshine! We were even lucky enough to have a lovely ‘chat’ with Reclining Liberty.

The Farmers were more than happy to answer any questions we had along the way, sharing stories and tips about their wonderful work. After a fun-filled morning of learning and laughter, we wrapped things up with a meal Pienza Brick Oven Pizza Café.

It was truly a perfect day—great company, great conversations, and unforgettable moments at Nicotra Grown: Organic Rooftop Farm. If you weren’t there, you can always book a Farm Tour by emailing [email protected]!
