High School for Public Service Youth Farm Market

Trinity Farm in Clintondale supplies vegetables and fruit to this Crown Heights and East Flatbush market, giving the Wednesday stand at the High School for Public Service Youth Farm a clear farm-to-neighborhood focus. The market operates at Wingate Campus, 600 Kingston Avenue, on the front lawn, tying produce shopping to a school-based youth farm rather than a separate commercial site. That setting matters: the market sits alongside programs that include a Lunchtime Farm Club, a Go Green! class, and urban farm training, so the food stand is part of a larger youth agriculture effort on the campus.

Why it matters locally

Wingate Campus is the anchor here, with the Youth Farm located at 600 Kingston Avenue and run in connection with the High School for Public Service and BK Farmyards. That makes this market more than a weekly produce pickup point; it is tied directly to student and public programming on the same site, including Physical Education classes, the Summer Youth Leaders program, and the Urban Farm Training Program.

The local impact is also practical. The market accepts EBT, WIC/FMNP, Senior Checks, cash, and Health Bucks, which widens how neighborhood shoppers can use benefits at the stand. Free public workshops and cooking demos extend that role beyond sales alone, linking fresh food with hands-on learning on the farm.

What you'll find there

The product mix is tightly focused rather than sprawling, centered on produce from a named farm partner and supported by on-site food education. Expect a market shaped by the Youth Farm's programs, with produce sales and weekly demos sharing the same Wednesday window.

• -Find vegetables and fruit from Trinity Farm in Clintondale at the market.
• -Catch Cooking Demos led by youth on Wednesdays from 2:30 to 3:30 as part of the market day.
• -Join the CSA connected to the Youth Farm's broader food distribution work.

The events calendar also includes free seasonal workshops, public workshops, and a 5 Senses Tour of the Youth Farm, which adds an educational layer for visitors interested in the site itself.

Know before you go

The key planning detail is timing: this market runs on Wednesdays from 2:30 to 6:30pm, seasonally from June through October, so it lines up more with after-school and late-afternoon shopping than with a morning market routine. The site is the front lawn of the Wingate Campus at 600 Kingston Avenue, with Rutland Road and Winthrop Street noted nearby. The Winthrop stop is also named in the market's location details.

Two on-site rules can affect a visit: there are no bathrooms on site, and dogs are not allowed. For groups or visitors looking for more than shopping, the farm also hosts volunteer days, tours, and farm-based workshops on separate programming tracks.

Payments & SNAP

EBT is accepted here, alongside WIC/FMNP, Senior Checks, cash, and Health Bucks, giving shoppers several ways to pay for produce. That broad payment mix is one of the market's clearest practical strengths, especially for a neighborhood stand operating on a school campus.
