... Enjoy the rural scenery and ambience of a
historic, bicentennial farm
that is situated right on beautiful Peconic Bay. Participants climb aboard
our old fashioned wagons for a ride around our farm. Along
the way visitors see orchards, row crops, hot-houses, barns, and real old
machinery! |

Field Trip groups and visitors are welcome to use
our picnic area which is nestled among some of our
farm's
oldest fruit trees. Visitors enjoy lunches in a beautiful rustic setting.
(Bring your own lunch & drink.) There is no
charge for using picnic area in conjunction with a tour. |

Bee Hive Observation
Ever wonder what occurs inside a hive? Everyone is fascinated by the world of the honeybee.
You can observe a real, working beehive at our Bee Observation Station.
NOTE: Beehive observation is over by late Fall, depending on weather
conditions. |

| Are those really bare hands? If you're cool, calm and
collected, you, too, can handle real live bees this way! Really?
Really! |

Tip-Toe gently in the pumpkin patch. Pick a tiny
