About Us and our Family Farm

The fertile Rondout Valley has an abundance of agriculture that has been here for hundreds of years. We live in this special place, proudly cultivating the same soil and enjoying a quality of life that is built from our agricultural heritage. Our farm is a century farm, in operation since 1836. We are also a farm with a future. Selected as New York State Farm Bureau's Young Farmers of 1995 and as the northeast representatives to the American Farm Bureau National Young Farmers Committee, we are a century-old farm with new ideas. (Read more about our farm in an article by Jon Fackler published in the Summer 1997 edition of Ulster Magazine.)

Take part in this history by enjoying the broad fields and soaring cliffs of our beautiful valley. A visit to our farm offers something for everyone!

  • We grow top quality produce from June through October that you can pick yourself. Strawberries, sugar snap peas, raspberries, and pumpkins ... just to name a few. More info.
  • We feature seasonal events such as our Fall Harvest Festival to celebrate a bountiful season. Kids love our corn maze and pick-your-own pumpkin patch. More info.
  • Since we are also interested in passing on our agricultural heritage to our children, we host educational (and FUN) school tours throughout the school year. Kids can milk a cow and learn about the operation of a dairy and produce farm. Take a hay ride and enjoy the great outdoors, nature's own classroom. More info.
