Williams Farm

The northeastern edge of Yonkers still holds pockets where the city gives way to open land. Williams Farm sits in one of those quiet corners, a working farm tucked into a neighborhood that’s seen more development than plowshares in recent decades. It’s a rare holdout in an area where residential blocks and strip malls dominate the landscape.

Farms this close to New York City often serve as reminders of what the land once was—before highways, before high-rises. This one operates without fanfare, sticking to the essentials of agriculture in a county where farmland has become scarce. The address, Yonkers, NY 10705, places it near the border with Mount Vernon, an area where urban and rural still occasionally brush shoulders.

Unlike the community gardens or seasonal pumpkin patches that dot the region, this is a farm in the traditional sense: no frills, no tourist draw, just the steady work of cultivation. Questions about operations or visits are best directed to the phone line at (914) 804-2537. There’s no website to browse, no social media feed to scroll—just a map coordinate and a number.

For those plotting a route, the directions will lead past rows of split-level homes before the pavement gives way to something older. It’s the kind of place that makes you double-check the GPS—yes, this is still Westchester.
