The farm is made up of five acres of land and hosts events throughout the year. Others include the Malverne Historical House, which preserves and displays Malverne’s history through the decades. Noteworthy village events include the Holiday Lighting, which draws admirers throughout the metropolitan area who delight in the Malverne’s transformation into a holiday showplace, complete with an elf parade, photos with Santa, dance performances, horse and carriage rides through the village and more. The event has been enchanting crowds since its inception in the 1960s.

West Hempstead is a Nassau County hamlet rich with history, parks, numerous public transportation options and other amenities that have been drawing residents and businesses to the area for years. The hamlet has several business areas, among them Hempstead Avenue, Woodfield Road and Hempstead Turnpike, all of which offer a mosaic of different restaurants, convenience stores and more that reflect the diverse needs and interests of its residents. The area has a strong Orthodox Jewish community, as well as many residents from Western Europe and other areas across the globe.
