QUEENS WEEKLY, FEBRUARY 9, 2020
Queens County Farm offers a weekend of ‘Foraging,
Fibers & Food’ for children and families in Floral Park
BY JENNA BAGCAL
The Queens County
Farm Museum is offering
kids the opportunity to
“create, imagine and explore”
during a fun-filled
long weekend.
From Feb. 19 to 21,
kids can participate in
Junior Makers Staycation:
Foraging, Fibers &
Food, which incorporates
science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM)
learning objectives.
The three-day program
runs each day from
noon to 3 p.m. for kids
ages 2 to 12.
“Junior Makers” will
get the opportunity to
churn fresh butter, create
pieces from natural
materials, learn to spin
sheep’s wool into yarn
and even get the chance
to play with their food.
Each day of the program
offers a unique schedule,
which includes a farmwide
scavenger hunt (foraging),
connecting to the
farm’s natural resources
(fibers) and creating fruit
and vegetable sculptures
(food).
Kids and their families
can also meet and feed
the farm’s menagerie of
alpacas, sheep, goats and
steer.
Afterward, visitors
can stop by the farm store
and purchase games, toys
and unique Queens-made
items like Queens Farm
herbal teas and woven
scarves and yarn from
the farm’s flock of heritage
Cotswold sheep.
Parents can sign their
kids up for one day or all
three.
Advance tickets for
Foraging, Fibers & Food
are $10 at queensfarm.org
and adults are free with a
participating child ages 2
and up. Those interested
can also purchase door
tickets for $15 each.
Group visits require
advance registration and
group admission fees
apply.
The event takes place
at the Queens County
Farm Museum at 73-
50 Little Neck Pkwy. in
