Van Houten Farms

Great selection of trees from fruiting apples, peaches to flowering. It's my #1 source in Manhattan where there are no nurseries. High-quality plants and produce all year. Knowledgeable staff, esp. the owner Jim Van Houten who is often onsite. You can request special trees/plants from the main nursery to be brought to Union Square if in stock. A favorite farmer!

Beautiful plants & flowers! Lots of great options, & many other garden supplies sold inside. Maggie is running a very solid business

There is so much variety of everything. From lawn ornaments to plants and saplings, vegetables and fruits, wines and entertainment! The farm has a lot to explore! My daughter enjoys the halloween setups. I definitely recommend experiencing it with your own eyes. There is a little of everything for everyone.

great find, perfect for a beer/cider and a stroll around the farm. they also have wine from benmarl for sale. and it's pet friendly!!

I Love and have Supported Van Houten Farms for 10+ years. I also really loved the cider works. The staff are great and super friendly. Whether you are going for plants/flowers, fresh fruits/veggies or other food products I have always had a great and positive experience. It's sad that crazy and delusion neighbors as well as a weak and superficial political infrastructure took away the best part of this small family run business and that is a fun/family friendly, music filled social spot which was the Cider Works!!

By far my new favorite place for all plants, herbs, trees and flowers! Very nice staff. Huge selection with plants I've never seen before. Price reasonable.

A really great nursery with a very large selection of flowers, seedlings, fresh fruit & vegetables and other fresh local produce. The staff is very nice and helpful and is on hand with advice and action. In conversations with other customers, I learned that the cidery and live music had to be shut down. Unfortunately, a disgruntled and hostile neighbor enforced to have it closed. Really a shame, I was really looking forward to an evening of cider and live music. I hope that the van Houtens will soon win the court case and be able to offer their guests the usual service again. Such local businesses are important for their communities and an ambassador of the community far beyond the borders of the local neighborhood. Bullying neighbors must not win. Definitely a great place to buy everything you need for the garden, the terrace or a healthy meal. I will definitely come back.

Great place for all. Fresh farm produce, snacks, a bar, craft beer and live music. Very helpful friendly staff.

11/10- this farm is simply the best. I live in NYC and became acquainted with Van Houten from Union Square market. I have since purchased a plethora of container vegetables and a blueberry bush for my roof. They have a lovely selection of everything from vegetables to plants to trees. Jim, the farm owner, is incredibly kind and helpful, and he has the absolute best workers at the market who always answer my many questions and are a pleasure to talk with. They are my go-to at Union Square Market and am very grateful that they come into the city.

What a great place! Loved the interesting ciders as well as the hot cider, the biergarten was cozy, and the store has so many great local food options. We bought their homemade vegan ravioli which was amazing. The staff were super friendly as well. We aren't locals but felt really welcome.
