Queens County Farm Museum

Overview

The Queens County Farm Museum occupies New York City's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland and is the only working historical farm in the City. The farm encompasses a 47-acre parcel that is the longest continuously farmed site in New York State. The site includes historic farm buildings, a greenhouse complex, livestock, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, herb garden and vineyard. It is the only New York City farm with livestock, they've developed pasture-based management systems and a composting program. The farm sells primarily on site, but also ships honey, eggs, herbs, and vegetables 15 miles away or less. Overflow is donated to City Harvest. Seasonal festivals, workshops, and history-based food events ensure that the community has the opportunity to learn and be involved.

Open: Everyday 10am - 5pm.

On Saturdays and Sundays tours of the historic farmhouse are available.
