Sundial Farm Pitch your tent and pick our apples by the pond on Westchester’s oldest working farm. You’ll enjoy complete privacy and quiet. The Hawkey family has worked Sundial Farm for nearly half a century, from indoor plants to perennials to dressage school, to organic veggies, selling antiques, hosting a local CSA and farm stand, and most recently native plant landscaping with PlanIt Wild. Sundial Farm can also be seen in many Hollywood productions, such as Blackkklansmen, The Hunters, and American Gangster. *You may come across reviews talking about the farm stand and animals. Sadly those are no longer here, so stock up on goodies before you arrive.Pitch your tent and pick our apples by the pond on Westchester’s oldest working farm.

Lovely Farm

This is a lovely farm in a beautiful part of New York State. There are lots of options for camp sites, and Molly is very helpful in selecting the perfect spot. We winter camped, and will return to enjoy all the seasons!

Lovely little spot tucked away within the farm. Everything was as advertised. Great hiking and nature nearby, quick drive to Tarrytown to explore. Molly was so lovely - will definitely be back!

What an amazing campsite! We stayed here with a group of friends for our kid's birthday. The farm is gorgeous and Molly was incredibly helpful. We just got home and are already talking about a return trip.

What an awesome location! Beautiful land and an accommodating host. Molly met us at the entrance and led us to the location. Due to recent rains, we were moved to a better location that was dry and level. Several member of the farm stopped by in the morning to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended, we will be back!

Molly’s farm was a very pleasant experience. Secluded camping area in an orchard, with fire pit, wood, tables, etc all provided. Molly was attentive and helpful—would recommend!
