For over 70 years, Fink’s Country Farm has been a cherished destination on Long Island, offering a blend of seasonal activities, fresh produce, and family-friendly fun.

Known for its rich history and welcoming atmosphere, Fink’s Country Farm continues to be the go-to spot for all things fall.
A Day at Fink’s Fall Harvest Fest
The Fall Harvest Fest runs every weekend through October 27th, with additional dates on October 3rd, 4th, and Columbus Day Monday. From 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, families can dive into a world of autumnal adventures, with tickets priced at $23 per person (for ages 3 and up), while children 2 and under get in for free. Seniors (65+) and military, law enforcement, and firefighters also enjoy discounted entry at $21. For one price, guests have access to unlimited hayrides, a thrilling corn maze, and countless other farm attractions that will keep the entire family entertained all day long.
One of the highlights of the festival is the animatronic chicken show, a quirky and charming performance sure to entertain visitors of all ages. Animal lovers can spend time with the friendly creatures at Barnyard Buddies, while thrill-seekers can slide down the towering combine slide or bounce on the jump pillow. Visitors can also take a ride on pedal carts or enjoy a family-friendly race with the farm’s hamster wheels. Live music from 12 to 4 PM adds to the festive atmosphere, providing the perfect soundtrack to a day of farmyard fun.
In addition to the classic activities, Fink’s Fall Harvest Fest offers something for everyone. There are tractor pulls, tricycle, and plenty of interactive play areas for the little ones to burn off energy. Character appearances from 11 AM to 4 PM bring an extra touch of magic to the farm experience, with children excitedly meeting their favorite farm characters.
Extras That Make It Special
For families looking to enhance their experience, there are additional attractions available for a small fee. These include the apple cannon, which allows guests to try their hand at aiming for targets with freshly picked apples, and the ever-popular pony rides from 10 AM to 4 PM. Little adventurers will love mining for treasures at the mining station, and the kiddie train provides a perfect way for the younger ones to explore the farm. Don’t miss the chance to feed the farm animals or enjoy a warm cob of roasted corn for the ultimate fall snack.
Of course, no visit to a farm in autumn would be complete without a trip to the U-pick pumpkin patch. Guests can wander through rows of pumpkins still on the vine, selecting the perfect one to take home for carving or baking.
