A Brief History: Stone Barns Center

Tarrytown, New York, USA
Stone Barns Center recognizes the exclusions and erasures of Indigenous peoples from food and farming, including those on whose land our organization is located. Stone Barns is located on the unceded lands of the Munsee Lenape, Schaghticoke, and Wappinger peoples. We honor the native people who have stewarded this area for 11,000 years and seek to highlight the continuous history of agriculture that began with their work.

By growing your own fruits and vegetables, you can bring diversity, better nutrition and outstanding homegrown flavor to your table.
