About West Maple Farm

West Maple Farm is a working farm in Monsey, New York, where families engage in hands-on agricultural activities. Visitors pick fresh vegetables directly from the fields and explore a petting zoo with farm animals. The farm operates hayrides through its grounds, giving guests views of the property and seasonal crops. Children can pan for gems at the gemstone mining station and operate remote control cars on designated tracks. A digger zone lets younger visitors excavate and move soil with equipment. Honeybee tours provide education about beekeeping practices, with guides explaining hive management and honey production. Educational programs include a chick hatching program where participants observe eggs developing, a boys after-school farming program teaching agricultural skills, and a girls summer camp program focused on farm life. A community garden space allows hands-on growing experience. The farm admits visitors seasonally and publishes admission prices online. Group rates are available for organized visits.
