Experience Queens County Farm Museum
The Queens County Farm Museum, also known as Queens Farm, is a historic farm located on 47 acres (190,000 m2) of the neighborhoods of Floral Park and Glen Oaks in Queens, New York City. If you’re willing to head a little outside of the city, the Queens County Farm Museum is well worth the trip. This working museum and farm are located about 30 minutes from downtown Manhattan.
The farm occupies the city's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland, and is still a working farm today. The site features restored farm buildings from three different centuries, a greenhouse, planting fields, livestock, and various examples of vintage farm equipment. Queens Farm practices sustainable agriculture and has a four-season growing program. You’ll be able to see up-close how this historic farm works, and you can also get some hands-on experience via feeding some of the animals, going on a hay bale ride, or checking out one of several classes on topics such as animal keeping.
