The Suffolk County Farm and Education Center is a model farm education facility and also a real working farm. It is open to the public year round. Visitors are able to see a century old working farm which still holds a tie to the past through the historic hay barn, while showcasing present-day agriculture.

Youth education programs are available for children pre-K to 12th grade and for those with special needs. Fun-filled education programs attract over 150,000 visitors annually.
