Queens County Farm Museum, Historic farm museum in Floral Park, Queens, US
Queens County Farm Museum is a working farm in Floral Park that keeps heritage animals, grows crops in multiple gardens, and features an 18th-century farmhouse open to visitors. The site maintains active agricultural operations while selling fresh produce grown on the grounds.
Founded in 1975, the site ranks among the longest continuously operating farms in New York State. It was established to preserve agricultural traditions as urbanization spread across the region.
The name reflects Queens' agricultural roots, and visitors experience farm life through seasonal activities and animal interactions. People come here to understand how rural work once shaped this area and to connect with land-based traditions that feel distant in modern city life.
The farm sits along Little Neck Parkway with parking available and accessible by public transit or car. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk across open fields and gardens to see different areas of the property.
The farm operates dedicated gardens for herbs and vegetables that display different sustainable growing methods and how to cultivate food in an urban setting. Pollinators like bees have their own designated areas that show why these insects matter for farming.
