New York City Farm Colony

New York City Farm Colony is a fascinating historic site on Staten Island that once functioned as a self-sustaining agricultural colony for the poor and homeless residents of New York City.

Today, the abandoned buildings and ruins create a mysterious, somewhat dark atmosphere that attracts lovers of history, photography and urban exploration.

This is a unique opportunity to see a different side of New York and learn about a lesser-known part of its social history. An ideal place for those seeking unusual attractions off the beaten tourist track.
