Loved it here! I was looking for an outdoor space to walk and found this place. It was crowded with families but I walked for awhile on the trails and then ended up away from the crowds that were closer to where there animals were housed. The views here were very scenic and serene. I would recommend coming here if you want to see some farm life. If you have kids who love animals, I'd highly recommend this place! They have a lot of staff walking around guiding people around the farm area. There is plenty of signage to find your way. And, there was a snack bar with a variety of food too. I look forward to coming back here and seeing more farm life soon! read more

Pleasantly surprised that this is a short drive from me! I grew up further upstate, so very much used to farms and even worked on a horse farm for a short period of time. After reading up on kids activities in Westchester, Muscoot kept popping up; since I had my son for a random afternoon in October, I decided to check it out. Kind of lame that they canceled the Halloween event for the day without any notice in social media (just 1 section of their site) however by the time I knew we were already up there. It was raining like hell to be fair. There was a farmer's market that day which was not too shabby; good variety of vendors included a BBQ place and a charcuterie place. Once the rain stopped, the grounds were great to explore. My son loved the goats the best (I loved the old ice house), however just being able to roam around the different buildings freely was very cool. The turkey pen wasn't bad either, nor was the cat who followed up around. Didn't get to see everything, however my son loved it so plenty of reason to go back--especially for one of the animal events once he's old enough. read more

This place would almost be perfect if they had alot They also had a turkey who kinda looked like a dinosaur and my son was convinced it wanted to fart on us lol... this is clearly his monologue right now as I'm writing this. Tons of picnic tables to bring your own grub and chill with the family We went during their sugaring so they showed us how they make their maple syrup which was cool!! They are surrounded my backwoods and trails Also they had like a highland cow there which was my fav! read more

Muscoot Farm is a great place to go if you need your daily fix of cute animals. I saw goats, sheep, chickens, a pig, cows, turkeys, and other cute animals. We weren't able to see any chicks or baby turkeys but we did see baby cows and some cute lambs. Muscoot Farm isn't a petting zoo, but the animals do come up to you sometimes if you're quiet and respectful. I was surprised that I didn't see any of their horses and that they didn't have any male turkeys, but we got to see some of the feeding time, and I even got the chance to learn a little about how the Farm used to be run. The farm doesn't require payment, but they do take donations so please donate when you come so that they can continue feeding and caring for the animals and the land, and so they can continue to pay their employees. This farm is a great place, and I hope that anyone who reads this review comes to visit. read more

Muscoot Farm - a red barn with solar panels on the roof - Farmers Market Near Me - Katonah, New York

Very cute place. Farmer's market on Sunday is cool. Many families with children come here. There are cute farm animals to look at, some small museums, a concession stand for food and drinks, gardens, etc. A nice way to spend a few hours on the weekend. read more

We did the morning farm chores on June 1st and it was wonderful! My children had a great time. The director of the farm lead the farm chores and he was fantastic! Patience with the children, very knowledgeable and extremely kind. We couldn't have asked for a better time at the farm. Muscoot farm is about a 40 minute drive for us because we are in North Rockland but our visit was worth the drive. The farm is very clean and well run. It did not smell at all and there are lots of workers. I'd definitely recommend visiting this farm and I will definitely be returning soon! read more

I may be overrating this Farm/Park/Museum, but I'm a city girl now and I love it! On a rainy day we had the place to ourselves. Im sure we didn't get the full treatment but I sure didn't care. Live animals! So beautiful to see up close and personal. Antique carriages and more. A gift shop and beautiful house to tour. All of this fun and not a penny admission fee! I'm returning to take more photos soon. I highly recommend this Farm for city dwellers. This place would be a special treat for young children that live in NYC. They do accommodate buses. If you don't have a car you may be able to visit via a bus tour. Relax and breathe fresh air! read more

Five stars for the farm itself and the Sunday farmers' market. They have ongoing programs for children (and grown ups) about the livestock, tending to the animals, etc. It would be five stars except for the parking lot. Oh, the parking lot. It is more pot hole than lot at this point. But hey, if you ever wanted the experience of driving a dune buggy, but with your own car's shocks and exterior to consider, this is the lot for you! read more

Such a lovely place! Makes for a wonderful day and, if you are there for the farmers' market, you'll come away with yummies!

I've been coming to Muscoot Farm for years. Admission is free, since the programs are run by donations. Seeing all the farm animals is always a highlight, but there are also preserved historic farm buildings that teach visitors about the farm's history. Muscoot also has hiking trails; I don't think a lot of people use them, so it's always peaceful and quiet, even when the farm gets a little busy. If you can, I would recommend stopping by on a Sunday afternoon for the Farmer's Market. They have plenty of picnic tables and a little concession stand, too. read more

Just visited the Muscoot farm for the first time today. They had a great farmers market, beautiful trails and walking alongside the animals was such a great experience. Definitely recommend. read more

Definitely not a whole day event but worth the trip, especially because its... FREE. I usually find myself paying to walk around or see something outdoorsy and find myself thinking.. "what for?" on the way out. The weather was nice, so the animals were not couped up in pens trying to stay warm or away from the sun, so I think we were there on a good day. They have: cows, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys, and pigs. But we are not allowed to touch, or feed the animals, which is disappointing. This place is perfect for young children. read more

My husband and I had a very unfortunate experience at the farmers market on Father's Day. We arrived with dog in tow just when the market opened to purchase ingredients for a BBQ, we so happened to be the first people to arrive. We were approached by a very hostile worker advising us that no dogs are allowed and we should read the signs stating that fact. We apologized and my husband and were walking away towards the exit (probably 100 ft. from a vendor and close to the exit) but decided to look at our ingredient list and that one of us would purchase them and the other would walk back to the car with our dog. Well the lady treated us like we were sub-human and stood there as if she was going to throw us out and she also had back up as if we were in a nightclub and needed a "bouncer" of sorts. We decided to leave after I told her we were just gathering our list and she was having none of it and glared and scowled like we were scum. Let's face it, we are talking about an empty farmer's market and did she really think that we were going to try to sneak back into an empty market with a white dog on a leash? Hardly inconspicuous is it ??? But she acted like she was preventing master criminals from stealing the crown jewels. I'm a member of the Westchester community, we are professionals in our 40s, and to be treated like this was offensive and appalling. We love to support the farmers markets and have brought our dog to Muscoot on several occasions and she's played with other dogs while there. When we retraced our steps there was NOT one sign stating dogs were not allowed. Not at any of the entrances (even the main entrance) or along the road on either side. It's a shame that the farm employed someone like this woman to be the face of a very progressive movement to bring farmers to a greater community willing to support them. As a daughter of generations of farmers, I commend Muscoot for having such a wonderful market, however I would hope that whoever runs the market would advise their employees to be more civil and approach people in a professional manner since an aggressive behavior is very off putting. read more

We took the family out to Muscoot Farm this weekend and it was really neat. It's a working farm/county park, complete with animals, gardens, and historic buildings. The terrain is very walkable and it's a nice way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon. There's also heaps of parking and admission is free! Can't beat that kind of deal. read more

What a great place, and It's For FREE!! must go. Your kids will love it. not a hole day trip but, very cool place lots of farm different animals, to see. if you lived in a city all your life and have never been to a farm you should check this place out. little bit of farm life right here n Westchester County. read more

Being from Astoria (NYC) it's not always easy to get the family out of the city to see something other than concrete. But as a 50 minute ride north of town, visiting this historic farm was a great day trip. Farm animal sightseeing is great. No petting zoo element, but that's ok. It's more real. You can throw a blanket down anywhere and bring your own lunch. The snack bar is just fried, greasy food and no vegetarian options. (Which is ironic seeing as it's a farm.) The museum / historical elements are nice and walking through the old farm house is cool too. There was a farmer's marketing going on the day we where there. And there was a "fairy" walk event going on where families with little girls were invited to dress them up in fairy costumes and then walk them along a trail in the woods. I mean, wooded fairy walk? How freakin' cute is that? NYC day trip: check. read more

Lovely farm and experience. Went on a Sunday at noon and still got parking in the main lot. Got to pet a few baby animals. Very cute. Clean. Animals seem well cared for and happy. A "farmers market" was set up (I believe that's on weekends only) and it offered a great variety with not too many vendors. Our 5 year old and 9 month old enjoyed seeing the animals and then "picnicking" at a table on the lawn under a tree. Great family Sunday Funday. Only 4 stars because the bathrooms could have been cleaner but isn't that always the case? read more

I love going to this place. It's free, and we love to look at farm animals, the trails are relaxing too. read more

So cute! Clean farm where the kids LOVE to see all the animals. The staff is friendly and will often take kids behind the scenes to check something out. For example they showed us how to milk a cow! It takes about an hour to see the entire farm, and it's donations only. read more

As a kid, this was one of my favorite places to spend the day on a weekend. Growing up without a backyard meant that anything with more than a square foot of grass seemed rural, so a farm with sheep that I could watch get sheared and barns full of cows getting milked was a sight to behold. We used to go here year-round because they hold tons of seasonal events, like honey harvesting, pumpkin picking, and a holiday sleigh ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Over a decade later, Baby Animal Day was the event that brought me back to Muscoot Farm. The property is a whole lot smaller than I remembered it being, but walking down the dirt paths brought back lots of memories. My friend and I assumed that "Baby Animal Day" meant that we would be surrounded by newborn lambs, piglets, and ponies for our amusement. We had visions of chicks and ducklings crawling all over us. We even wore clothes we didn't care about so that we could really get down and dirty with the babies. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Baby Animal Day consisted of a few members of 4H holding goats and letting kids touch them for a few seconds. We didn't even get to pet them because those greedy children hogged them all. It was very disappointing. Luckily there was a fantastic farmer's market there, which I credit to my giving this place 3 (more like 3.78) stars despite our disenchantment. There were a ton of local vendors selling olive oil, granola, vegetables, coffee, hot peppers, and so much more. They all were very willing to let us sample anything we wanted; one guy at a stand that sold delicious cookies with flavors like rosemary and curry even said "Want to try one more before you walk away?" Our all-time favorite was a peanut butter and jam vendor, who offered delectable and intriguing flavors of both. My personal pick was the honey peanut butter, but the hot and spicy one provided quite a kick, too. He also had an apple cinnamon jam that tasted exactly like a slice of pie, and I'm pretty sure any sandwich made with this would taste like a decadent dessert. Someone else also enjoyed this stand - at one point I glanced over and saw Harry Connick, Jr. sampling spreads a few feet away from me. He later bought a ton of flowers from a nearby stall, so I'm guessing his Memorial Day Weekend consisted of some landscaping. Young or old, Muscoot farm is a great place to spend an afternoon. Just don't get your hopes up about playing with the animals...although keeping them away from both screaming children and creepy adults such as myself is probably for the best. read more

My 2 year old niece loves Muscoot Farm. It's not very big, so it's easy enough to walk through for the little ones. Everything is really well maintained and the there is a nice array of animals - cows, sheep, chickens, goats, horses and more. There are special events - yesterday was "meet the baby animals" day where kids get to pet the babies. There is no admission fee and parking is plentiful. There is a small stand to buy food and drinks. read more

I've been coming to this farm since I was a baby with my father. Now, I go every Sunday during the warmer months with my little one for the farmers market and the animals. It's just as I always remembered it! I will most likely continue coming here for the rest of my life. read more

Such an awesome experience . I took my one year old and her friend and they loved it. Great area to explore- beautiful animals- cool historical features! I cannot wait for warmer weather to go back read more

Love this little farm. Great for toddlers and quick day trip. Bring a picnic they have plenty of picnic tables. Parking after a rainfall is hard as it puddles everywhere. read more

Super fun and free place to take young kids. This was a life saver when I was home with two preschoolers!

Wonderful grounds that is a great experience for children. You are able to roam the grounds and see all the animals up close. No you can't pet or feed them.....but I don't necessarily want my children doing that anyways! The farmers market has some really awesome products as well. Overall a great way to spend the afternoon with your family. read more

We visited Muscoot Farm on 05/15/2015 and we were absolutely delighted. I had not been to Muscoot in several years and forgot about all the little things that make this park great. It is charming, relaxing and fun. Staff members were there answering questions, they were so friendly and clearly love the animals. All the animals appeared to be well cared for and everything was as clean as it can be for a farm with animals. Muscoot Farm is a wonderful place for anyone who likes farms and animals. read more
