Longstreet Farm offers living-history demonstrations, county hosts say
Summary
Longstreet Farm's living-history program in Holmdel includes daily demonstrations, livestock, and a historic kitchen garden where hosts harvested tomatoes and discussed 1890s domestic life.
Longstreet Farm, a living-history farm operated for public visits, was showcased as part of the county's history series. Hosts visited the produce garden and observed daily demonstrations of historic farm life.
Deb from Longstreet Farm described the site's livestock and programming: "We do it twice a day, every day," she said of milking demonstrations, and listed the farm's animals (including mules, horses, cows, sheep, chickens and hogs) and historic crops such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, watermelon, squash and salsify. She explained the house museum presents domestic life from the 1890s in Holmdel and described the kitchen garden as a way to teach visitors about period food production.
The segment emphasized hands-on visitor opportunities and the farm's educational role; no admission fees or seasonal schedules were specified on air.
