Sky Farm LIC is a rooftop educational farm run by the Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens. 2025 is our second season, and we're happy to announce we're expanding our programming to involve a series of community workshops.

Join us on Sunday July 27th to kick off our series with an Open House. Meet our farm crew and mingle with others, enjoy some snacks, and participate in a 45 minute chat focused on discussing and sharing resources, from classes taken to volunteer opportunties, favorite podcasts, job search engines, books, and more. Our crew will also be sharing a list of some of our own favorite resources, and sending out the list of resources shared afterwards! We'll also be launching the descriptions and tickets for our August, September, and October workshops.

Open House runs 12pm-3pm. Our chat will run from 1:30-2:15.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to the roof?

The entrance to our building is on the corner of 38th and Northern Blvd, underneath a sign that reads 'Standard Motor Products'. Guests will sign in and out at the front security desk, and be directed towards the passenger elevator that takes you to the roof.

Should I bring anything?

We encourage guests to bring sunscreen, a hat, water bottle, and closed toed shoes! Wear clothes you're comfortable getting dirty; we like to trek out into the fields during farm tours! We also encourage folks to bring a pen and paper.

Will there be refreshments?

Yes! We provide farm fresh snacks, water, coffee, and a selection of tea. We cannot accommodate allergies, food or otherwise; please keep this in mind.

Who are the community workshops for?

The community! We encourage any folks interested in urban agriculture and community gardening to join. These workshops are focused on community connection and skill building, so please come ready to learn! Folks of all knowledge and skill bases are encouraged to join.

Is there a fee?

No, the majority of our Community Workshops will be free. There may be one or two special workshops in our series which require a fee to accommodate the costs of running it; the fee will be requested during ticket reservation, all proceeds going to Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens.

Can I donate?

Yes! There will be a QR Code present at all Community Workshops. Should you like to support the farm and our programs, you can follow it to donate to the Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens, who we are a program of.
