I'm a local.. Last year I had old friends and their friends visit... two dairy farming families from NY and Connecticut.. They had so much fun looking in every nook and corner of the farm...Between them they have over 100 years of farming. They were impressed with Island Farm...Fun and education for young and old.

Wish I lived closer....

They did a great job of restoring it to the period of 1840. Everyone was so nice and helpful. So much history. We went on the fourth of July and listened to the Declaration of Independence being read and fired the musket.

Great place for a field trip or a stop with the kids.

We had a really great time here. The staff was amazing and super helpful, and kind to our kid. They have an amazing looking American milking Devon and other a horse that they rescued. they put a lot of time into restoring that mansion and out buildings too. They have set up the sheep pasture with the old bramble style breakers to do rotating pasture like back in the day. It really gives a little sneak peak into the life back then. A nice collection of heritage breeds too.

We went for the Island Farm Christmas night. It was very well organized with a lot of interesting information about the particular farm, but also Christmas traditions during the time period.
We looked in the detached kitchen with a full table spread of foods they would have served and were treated with cider, a cookie, and some fresh cooked meat.
Some friends made some dipped candles. We made wreaths to take home. There was also a tour of the main house.
A lot of fun for those who like history!
