The Muscoot Farm is an absolutely gorgeous interpretive farm based in Katonah, New York and owned and operated by the Westchester County Department Of Parks, Recreation and Conservation.
In May Of 2021, I brought my wife and myself to the Muscoot Farm to celebrate our Happy Seven Year Relationship Anniversary.
Both my wife and I were captivated by Muscoot Farm’s beautiful scenic countryside and we enjoyed viewing and taking pictures of the various farm animals ranging from cows, horses, donkeys and sheep.
We enjoyed every minute of our visit of Muscoot Farm and we highly recommend for everyone visit and explore this wonderful countryside attraction!!!

For 25 years every summer I visit this place. In our hectic world with stress, the race for money, illness, etc., thanks God that there are still places where you can forget everything and relax your soul.
Going back 100 years, you will understand how simple and unhurried people lived, despite the hard daily work.

Wonderful place for everyone. Children can enjoy seeing different animals, adults can enjoy walking few trails around. Place gets very busy during summer, especially Sundays morning when there is a good farms market. You can have your own lunch under trees, while kids can have an ice-cream. There are some interesting shows every so often. Very interesting place.

My husband and I had a very unfortunate experience at the farmers market on Father’s Day. We arrived with dog in tow just when the market opened to purchase ingredients for a BBQ, we so happened to be the first people to arrive. We were approached by a very hostile worker advising us that no dogs are allowed and we should read the signs stating that fact. We apologized and my husband and were walking away towards the exit (probably 100 ft. from a vendor and close to the exit) but decided to look at our ingredient list and that one of us would purchase them and the other would walk back to the car with our dog. Well the lady treated us like we were sub-human and stood there as if she was going to throw us out and she also had back up as if we were in a nightclub and needed a “bouncer” of sorts.
We decided to leave after I told her we were just gathering our list and she was having none of it and glared and scowled like we were scum. Let’s face it, we are talking about an empty farmer’s market and did she really think that we were going to try to sneak back into an empty market with a white dog on a leash? Hardly inconspicuous is it ??? But she acted like she was preventing master criminals from stealing the crown jewels.
I'm a member of the Westchester community, we are professionals in our 40s, and to be treated like this was offensive and appalling. We love to support the farmers markets and have brought our dog to Muscoot on several occasions and she's played with other dogs while there. When we retraced our steps there was NOT one sign stating dogs were not allowed. Not at any of the entrances (even the main entrance) or along the road on either side. It’s a shame that the farm employed someone like this woman to be the face of a very progressive movement to bring farmers to a greater community willing to support them. As a daughter of generations of farmers, I commend Muscoot for having such a wonderful market, however I would hope that whoever runs the market would advise their employees to be more civil and approach people in a professional manner since an aggressive behavior is very off putting.

We had never heard of this park since we came from Long Island. The farm was small but amazingly nice. Animals are very well kept. Food stand has very good snacks at reasonable prices too. A definite to visit with small children.

Whether you bring the little ones to see the farm animals or to do a hay ride or even go alone to a farmers market, this is a great activity. To see newborn piglets, newly hatched chicks or just the horses always thrills my grandchildren. No admission and rarely closed, this is a place every grandparent in Westchester needs on their go to list.

My children attended Muscoot Farm Little Wranglers and Little Farmers Camp in 2014.
We were very disappointed in the program. The "crafts" were just cheap Xeroxed hand-outs that they could color-in. They no longer did the hayrides with the children. The children seemed bored. Some members of the staff were off-putting and did not seem to understand young children, although others were nice.

There are many animals to see here, and barns dating back to different periods over the last two hundred years. There is a giant tractor to climb on, and there is a snack bar though I have never seen it open. Best time of year to visit is the spring when all the babies are being born. Lots of great memories here :)

Visiting Muscoot Farm was a wonderful experience. It is a working farm with animals and agriculture.
What makes this place extra special is that there are hiking trails that go into the woods. That was the purpose of our trip to find birds of Westchester. And find birds we did: Red headed woodpecker, Cooper’s Hawk, Red Starts, Orioles and much much more.
We were fortunate enough to be there there on a weekend and enjoyed their wonderful farmers market with fresh produce vegetables and prepared meals.
There was ample free parking and clean bathrooms.

Once a working farm, Muscoot Farm is now owned by the county of Westchester and features a combination of historical exhibits depicting farm life in the early 20th century and a smattering of animals including, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, turkeys, and chickens. Especially educational and entertaining for young children. Note that the facility is small and shouldn't take more than 1 1/2 hours to enjoy.

Is there a fee to come and walk the farm and see the animal?
Written 28 August 2018
No, there is no fee, although there is a place where you can make a donation. Strolling the grounds is free to all, one of the great things about Muscoot. I was just there last Friday with some of my grandkids and they loved it, as usual.
