Brookholt School of Agriculture for Women

The Brookholt School of Agriculture for Women (also known as Belmont's Farm School for Girls) was an experimental American farm vocational school for women. Established on April 1, 1911, by Alva Belmont on her Brookholt estate, located in the hamlet of East Meadow, 3 miles (4.8 km) from Hempstead, Long Island, New York, it was believed to be the first institution of its kind for the exclusive benefit of women.

In Belmont's view, much of the gardening in Europe was done by women, but it was not the custom in the U.S. and she aimed to change that. In 1912, when it became evident to Belmont that the students were not suited to farm life, she ended the experiment.
