The historic Dr. Davies Farm — Rockland County’s last family-run farm and a fixture of Congers since 1891 — will host its 4th Annual Halloween Fun Day on Friday, November 1, inviting the community to enjoy fall festivities and celebrate over 130 years of local farming heritage.

Founded by Dr. Lucy Virginia Meriwether Davies, one of the first female physicians in the U.S., and her husband, artist Arthur B. Davies, the farm has been passed down through five generations. The 1836 farmhouse and orchards still reflect the same blend of hard work, creativity, and community spirit that began more than a century ago.

The Halloween Fun Day event will feature family-friendly activities, hayrides, apple picking, pumpkin decorating, and seasonal treats from the farm stand. Visitors can also explore the historic grounds that have appeared in films and television shows including Saturday Night Live, Network, The Manhattan Project, and The Blacklist.

“Davies Farm has always been about bringing people together,” said a member of the Davies family. “This event is our way of celebrating the season while sharing our history with the community.”

Dr. Lucy Davies, known locally as “Dockie,” not only established the farm but also delivered more than 6,000 babies in the Congers area while running a medical practice from her farmhouse. Her descendants continue her legacy of care — now through stewardship of the land and connection to the community.
