Feb. 2, 2022 – Get your spring wardrobe ready, Muscoot Farm’s weather-predicting chicken, Cluxatawney Henrietta, laid an egg this morning, signaling an early spring.

For the fourth year in a row, Muscoot Farm curator, Jonathon Benjamin, reacquainted us to Muscoot’s Groundhog Day celebration, which mirrors the more traditional Groundhog Day celebration featuring Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil.

Benjamin said, “We love traditions here at Muscoot Farm and since we don’t have a resident groundhog to observe Groundhog Day on the farm, our Cluxatawney Henrietta has helped us celebrate in our own special way.”

Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said, “Muscoot Farm has found such a special way to observe Groundhog Day, which is unique to the farm, and I am proud that Westchester County Parks has its own weather-predicting chicken!”
