Spring break on the farm in Queens

Awarded society scholarship Mineola honors 2 student athletes

Spring Break on the Farm will have kids buzzing around our historic grounds as they achieve STEM learning objectives and learn all about ecology, sustainability and life on the farm. Grow and explore at the longest continuously operated tract of farmland in NYC at the Queens County Farm.

To start, a farm tour will introduce visitors to our hens, pigs, steer, alpaca, sheep and beehives, and guests will get to feed our goats a tasty snack. Explore the spring farm landscape on a tractor-drawn hayride and watch the ﬁelds as they come to life with new growth. During the tour, children can try their hand at a farmwide scavenger hunt.

Then it’s all hands on deck for the day’s speciﬁc programming. Children can learn about compost and make a seed ball during Compost to Zero Waste; transplant a marigold as part of Plants & Ecology; learn about the importance of pollinators and make a beeswax candle during What’s the Buzz? Participants will take home their craft from the day’s session.

Stop by the Farm Store for plants, snacks, traditional games, toys and locally-made items – like Queens Farm herbal teas, honey, woven scarves and yarn from our ﬂock of heritage breed sheep. The Con Edison Reading Room will also be open; stop in for a farm-fresh story after the program. Our picnic areas will also be available for a picnic lunch before or after your program.

The schedule is as follows, with two sessions available per date.

On Wednesday, April 12, Compost to Zero Waste will be held from 10am–12pm and 1–3pm.

On Thursday, April 13, Plants & Ecology will be held from 10am–12pm and 1–3pm.

Lastly, on Friday, April 14, What’s the Buzz? will be held from 10am–12pm and 1–3pm.

This is Elton! Crash land into your seat with The Rocket Man Show, starring Scotsman Rus Anderson – Elton John’s of�cial 70’s body double as featured in the ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ world tour. Chosen by the man himself, Rus’ performance pilots a night of greatest hits, gorgeous costumes and �erce piano playing. Currently featured on E!’s ‘Clash of the Cover Bands’, Rus’ portrayal of Elton has been described as “Amazing” by Jimmy Fallon and “Phenome‐nal” by Queen’s Adam Lambert. The Rocket Man Show has quickly joined the list of must-see tickets in town and is perhaps summed up best by ‘All About That Bass’ megastar Meghan Trainor who claims “You IS Elton!” It’s one small step for man…one giant leap for Elton John fans.
