Hop on over to the Queens County Farm Museum with the beloved Barnyard Egg Hunt on March 28 and April 4, one of Queens’ most anticipated spring events. “Spring is when the Farm truly comes back to life,” said David Hughes, Executive Director of Queens County Farm Museum. “Our Barnyard Egg Hunt has become a beloved Easter tradition, where families gather outdoors, children explore the growing fields, and the farm awakens for a new growing season. It’s a joyful way to welcome spring and create lasting memories  together on New York City’s oldest historic farm.”

Children and families will delight in searching for thousands of colorful, prize-filled eggs hidden throughout the farm’s historic orchard. Guests can snap photos with Whiskers the Bunny and enjoy outdoor games! A tractor-drawn hayride offers a rolling view of the farm’s scenic spring landscape, while local food vendors add delicious seasonal treats to the festivities. Tickets are available for $17 and can be purchased on our website, queensfarm.org. BYOB (bring your own basket) is encouraged. Queens County Farm Museum is located at 73-50 Little Neck Parkway, Floral Park.

Queens County Farm Museum is a living testament to New York City’s agricultural roots. As one of the longest continuously farmed sites in New York State, Queens Farm has cultivated both land and community for over 328 years. At its heart is the Adriance Farmhouse, a restored Dutch farmhouse built in 1772 that anchors the site’s 7-acre historic core—a rare remnant of the city’s agrarian past. Today, Queens Farm welcomes more than 500,000 visitors annually, offering hands-on education to more than 40,000 NYC students, growing over 40,000 pounds of produce for communities across Queens, advancing regenerative agriculture, promoting environmental stewardship, and preserving the city’s rural heritage.
