Come see how this dynamic 3-acre farm in the South Ward of Newark, one of the largest urban farms in the state of NJ, operates and serves the community with fresh, good quality produce, education, event space, and gardening resources. Meet our farm team and learn how a variety of early fall crops are harvested for our weekly farm stands. Participants are welcome to take home some of the harvest.
Greater Newark Conservancy offers hands-on, inquiry based environmentally themed programs. The Conservancy’s professional staff is a partner in educating your students.
Get outside and enjoy some nature at our Outdoor Learning Center or Urban Farm! Volunteers are a vital part of Greater Newark Conservancy’s mission and operations. You can volunteer as an individual or as a group.
We’re very proud that the opening of our Judith L. Shipley Urban Environmental Center in 2004 marked the very first appearance of an urban environmental center in New Jersey.
