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.

Tens of thousands of visitors join us every year at the Suffolk County Farm and Education Center--a real working farm in action! Families can participate in our many special events and get up close to the farm animals. The century-old Farm offers unique educational programs for children Pre-K thru 12th grade, summer day camps, showgrounds, special events, a butterfly house, a certified Nature Explore Classroom and much more.

CCE's 4-H youth development programs, including our many camps, help get Suffolk youth "unplugged" and out into their communities.

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.
