Farming

Horses, cows, sheep, and chickens are our focus up at Duryea Farm. Campers groom and harness our work horses Captain and Eva and learn how to plow the fields with them. We milk cows from the only dairy herd left in Rockland County. The chickens love to be held as we collect  eggs from their nests, and our sheep provide us with wool to clean, card, dye, and spin. Beyond caring for and learning about animals at the farm, campers will visit the hay loft, learn about farming tools, and help to harvest carrots, beets, turnips, onions, and any other crops the farmers need help bringing in.
