Want to sleep out under the stars without leaving New York City?

Want to enjoy some Brooklyn Brewery's finest suds while chowing down on a BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, smoked by superstar butcher Tom Mylan?

Want to enjoy some warm peach pie from Sweet Deliverance and dance the night away with DJ Sam Kim? How could you not?

Come spend Labor Day at the Queens County Farm Museum.  Camp out in the orchard, eat a down home dinner of smoked chicken, pickles, baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, pie, and more from Sweet Deliverance.

Brooklyn Brewery will provide their Autumnal offerings, Oktoberfest and Post Road Pumpkin Ale, in addition to the tried and true Brooklyn Lager.   Your $80 ticket covers the cost of beer for the whole night.

And wake up the next morning to Bloody Mary's, biscuits, fritattas and coffee.

chickenJoin us on the farm anytime and we'll set you up in the orchard at 5p.m.  We'll have dinner, bluegrass, a DJ and dancing, a camp fire, pie, watermelon, capture the flag, breakfast the next morning and of course, enough kegs and cluckers to go around and then some.

In the morning we’ll be serving a breakfast that includes frittatas, biscuits, bloody mary's, coffee, and fruit.


Food, beer, music, games, a camping spot and parking all included in your $80 per adult ticket.  Kids and families are welcome.  Tents, which you can rent here, or car camping is fine. Transportation is up to you. Get tickets here. 

NOTE: We will not be renting tents the day of the event.  Please visit our friends at Tents & Trails to rent a tent for the camp out.

The farm is open to visitors all day, but the fun and food will really get started shortly after 5 pm, when the gates close to the public.

FAQ:

(1) Q:  Can we buy tickets at the gate? A: Yes, tickets can be purchased at the gate.  All guests will receive wristbands and a cup we hope they will hold on to the whole night.  Ticket price at the gate is $80.

(2) Q:  Is the event kid friendly? A:  Absolutely.  Kids under 12 don't have to buy a ticket as long as they are with their parents or adults.

(3) Q: Can I bring my dog? A: Nope.  Dogs are not permitted on the farm.  It wasn't our idea-- the pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks requested this policy and that it be strictly enforced.

(4) Q: Can we buy a cheaper ticket if we bring our own food and drinks?  A: Sorry, one ticket price per adult is the best way for us to do this.   You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, like snacks and stuff.

(5) Q: Where will we camp, put up our tent?  A:  When you arrive at the farm and check in, we'll lead you to the camping spots, in the back of our farm away from the roads, lights and noise of the city.  Tents of any size are permitted.

(6) Q: What should I bring?  A: Bottled water, environmentally friendly insect repellant and snacks are all good ideas.  Hammocks, frisbees, soccer balls, camping stoves if you want to make your own stuff.
