Why the Dandelion?

Dandelions are made up of three main parts: The flower (seeds), the stem and the roots. They are tough, can survive almost anywhere and are constantly moving and starting over. Dandelion seeds don’t have any say on where the wind will take them when it is time to venture on. And just like military kids who are along for the ride, they go where their parents and the military take them and find a way to be resilient and start all over again. They put down roots, create new friends, find routines and then a strong wind blows and they get to do it all over again.

Learn more about Muscoot Farm

Muscoot Farm in Katonah is located on 777 acres of land filled with historic buildings, farm animals, and more than six miles of trails.

Dating to the early 1900s, Muscoot Farm has a milk house, ice house, brooder house, and carriage house that guests can explore to learn about the farm's history. There's also a farmer's market.

There are plenty of farm animals on the property, including cows, pigs, sheep, and other animals, but they are there to be admired: there's no feeding or petting allowed.
