Celebrate October at the Queens County Farm Museum

It’s fall y’all, and we have just the place to help celebrate everything autumnal! The Queens County Farm Museum is your one-stop shop for family friendly fall fun! Take a hayride, visit the pumpkin patch, or journey through the ‘ Amazing Maize Maze ,’ a 3-acre challenge with clues that take you to Victory Bridge where the full vista of Andy Warhol’s Cow is revealed. And after all the fun you can treat yourself to New York apples, cider, donuts, and pies! You can even celebrate Halloween on the farm. Wear your costume to this monster mash where you will enjoy trick-or-treating with the farm animals, a haunted farmhouse, ghastly crafts, local food vendors and Queens Farm’s acclaimed farm stand, featuring the season’s best produce fresh-picked from their fields.

There is something for everyone this fall at Queens Country Farm Museum. Information about hours, tickets and COVID-19 guidelines can be found on their website. While you are browsing, be sure to take a look at the agricultural and educational programs they offer.

The Queens Country Farm Museum is a New York City Landmark, on the National Register of Historic Places and a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City. The farm dates back to 1697 and occupies New York City’s largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland. Encompassing a 47-acre parcel that is one of the longest continuously farmed sites in New York State, the site includes historic farm buildings, a greenhouse complex, livestock, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, and an herb garden. The mission of the farm is to preserve, restore, and interpret the site, its history, and owner’s lifestyles. Through educational programs, events, and museum services, they aim to educate the public about the significance of Queens County’s agricultural and horticultural past and heighten awareness of present-day sustainable agricultural and horticultural practices.
