Martha Stewart shared a rare look at her Bedford, New York, farm and peacock collection during an appearance on the On Display show.
The tour offers an intimate glimpse into the private agricultural practices and aesthetic choices of one of the most influential figures in American home and garden design.
Stewart's estate spans 153 acres [1], where she maintains a variety of livestock and botanical gardens. A central feature of the property is her extensive collection of peacocks, which roam the grounds. While reports on the exact size of the flock vary, some sources said she keeps more than 20 peacocks [3], while others suggest the number is more than 15 [4].
The presentation highlighted the scale of the Bedford property, a sanctuary that blends professional horticulture with personal passion. The birds are a significant part of the estate's visual appeal, including rare specimens that have previously drawn attention online for their courtship displays.
By opening her gates to the program, Stewart provided a detailed look at how she manages the intersection of a working farm and a luxury residence. The footage emphasizes the meticulous nature of her land management and the specific care required for her avian collection.
Stewart has long been known for her expertise in domestic arts, but the On Display segment focuses specifically on the outdoor scale of her operations. The tour serves as a visual catalog of her commitment to biodiversity, and landscape architecture on her private land.
