Muscoot Farm



If you are looking for a place in Westchester County that is fun for the whole family, teaches you about its history, and has animals, just head over to Muscoot Farm in Katonah!

The farm itself has a variety of animals, such as cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, and pigs. As it is also a historic property, they have left up many of the old buildings that people can walk into. These buildings include a milk house, an icehouse, a brooder house, and a carriage house. There is also a farm museum in one of the barns, and the main house is typically used to exhibit art shows from local artists.

The farm also hosts a variety of events throughout the year. One of the most popular events is the farmer’s market, which is every Sunday, and this year goes from April 2 to November 19. They also have a total of 32 vendors this year, some of which are only there on specific days. Another popular event is a guided tour of the farm, which comes in many different forms. These include a general tour of the farm, a tour that shares the history of the farm, a tour that shows all the farm animals and explains their purposes, a tour that talks about farming in Westchester, a tour for kids that will allow them to have an up close encounter with an animal, a Winter tour that focuses on maple sugaring, and a hayride tour that goes through the back hayfields of the farm.

They will be having other fun events over the next several weeks, such as potion making classes for kids and adults, morning farm chores for kids and adults, a blacksmithing workshop, a stargazing picnic and hayride, and a holiday market and family day. 

So go ahead and go to Muscoot Farm, a place that is both fun and informative!
