The Queens County Farm Museum, also known as Queens Farm, is a 47-acre (190,000 m2) farm in the Floral Park and Glen Oaks neighborhoods of Queens in New York City. The farm occupies the city's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland (in operation since 1697), and is still a working farm today. Queens Farm practices sustainable agriculture and has a four-season growing program. The museum includes the Adriance Farmhouse (also known as the Cornell Farmhouse), a New York City Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.

The site features restored farm buildings, planting fields with 200 types of crops, livestock, and various examples of vintage farm equipment.[3] The museum has free admission on most days, though tickets are sold for special event days throughout the year.[4] The museum hosts guided tours of the farmhouse,[5] weekend hayrides,[6] and an on-site seasonal farmstand.[7]
