Queens Farm practices sustainable agriculture and has a four-season growing program.

[4] The museum hosts guided tours of the farmhouse,[5] weekend hayrides,[6] and an on-site seasonal farmstand.

[8] It was listed as a New York City Landmark in 1976,[2] and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

"[9] In 1926, the Stattels sold the farm to real estate investor Pauline Reisman, who, in turn, later that year sold it to Creedmoor State Hospital, which used it for occupational therapy, to stock its kitchen, and to grow ornamental plants for the rest of the hospital campus.

In 1975, state legislation authored by Frank Padavan transferred ownership of the farm from the hospital to NYC Parks for the purpose of starting a museum.
