A demonstration farm in the Rockefeller family's old stone barns: chickens, sheep and pigs roam the fields, the enormous greenhouse grows every kind of vegetable, the cafe in the stone courtyard serves a great farm lunch, and the Rockefeller State Park carriage roads are right next door.
💡 Tips
Open to the public on weekends (check the calendar on the website); farm visits are generally free or a token fee, and some family programs need reservations. The Blue Hill restaurant is Michelin-starred and not a kids outing.What this place offers
