Suffolk County Farm

The Suffolk County Farm and Education Center’s mission is to provide hands-on research-based learning to all residents with themes in agriculture, animal sciences, history, STEM, healthy living, and life skills in a unique year-round learning environment and in community spaces. The Farm’s vision is to connect with our agricultural heritage and to pave the way for a bright, healthy, and sustainable future.

During renovations: When you arrive at the farm, please continue to park near the yellow building. Then, walk down the IGHL driveway to the first white trailer on the right. You can check in and purchase animal food or wagon rides as usual, and then proceed down our visitor walkway.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to grow and improve the farm.

Because we have animals on the farm, THERE ARE NO DOGS ALLOWED ON THE FARM AT ANY TIME!
