A Road Trip: Close to Home to play with animals? What could be
better?!
Muscoot Farm in Katonah
dates back to the 1800s and today you
can learn all about that history, stroll along the hiking trails, and yes,, make some new furry friends.
“We
consider this an educational farm,” says Jonathon Benjamin, Farm Manager,
Muscoot Farm. “It’s really important to teach people the importance of
agriculture and just the importance of being kind to animals.”
This
farm has so many animals to learn about from the oldest on the farm like donkeys Felix and Oscar at 27 years old to the youngest on the farm like this baby goat that was just born this week. “To see all these people come here from
all different places within the county and even beyond it’s just nice to see
them be able to learn and just be able to see all these animals and nature,” says
Benjamin.
And
that’s not all, there are seven miles of hiking trails are yours
to explore And appreciate nature around
you. “It’s very
important especially in this day and age to be able to get out there and kind
of remove yourself from all the hustle and bustle,” says Benjamin.
Muscoot
also offers plenty of programs for kids to hop in a day in the life of a farmer
and even a farmer's market for you to browse fresh goods each Sunday.
