Queens County Farm Museum

20 Best Museums in New York City

"Think of this 47-acre site as part interactive museum, part working farm: one of the state's longest continually farmed sites (over 300 years), it grows some 200 varieties of crops, offers scenic hay rides through fields, pastures, and woods, houses resident animals (sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, hens), and boasts the city's largest on-site apiary with more than two million honeybees—honey and fresh eggs are available in the farm store and seasonal events are offered throughout the year." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
