 About The Farm


 The Farm grows organic vegetables has a CSA, farm stand and B & B.
It is a great place to experience for all, alone, as a couple and families with children of all ages. On 118 acres, located in Ilion, New York, up the hill from the Mohawk Valley. The land is beautiful, with long vistas; a mix of woods, pastures and fields. This is very much a four season location. The spring is full of blooming flowers, birds and sweet smelling breezes. The summer is comfortable, green and lush, stars and fireflies fill the night sky, as well as all the fresh vegetables and bounty that summer offers. The fall is extremely colorful on rolling hills with big skies filled with billowous clouds. Winter is wintery; it is gorgeous. We have snow cover for most of the season, our land is perfect for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.  There are also cc-ski trails nearby.
Our B & B is very warm and welcoming, well appointed and ecologically responsible. We use compact florescent light bulbs, ultra low water usage, high efficiency appliances, a wood gasification furnace and our water
is pumped by a water-powered ram.  
 We are committed to sustainable agriculture and do not use chemical
pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth hormones or antibiotics. 
We grow a broad array of colorful, heirloom, unusual and standard vegetables
and flowers. We have 80+ chickens that roam where they wish and produce a full spectrum of colorful eggs. We have a 50 member CSA, are vendors at farmer's market in Clinton and Cooperstown. We also have a farm stand on the property.

    * Green building practices * Heirloom vegetables
 * Free range chicken eggs
 

B & B Reviews:

"Gracious and thoughtfully restored Italianate Victorian farm house with beautiful sunset views and delicious organic food. Lots of privacy if you want it and a welcome home atmosphere of interesting company when you settle by the fire at night. Talented Innkeepers and Organic Farmers Laura and Michael, have created an artistic oasis of urbane country life on this exceptional hilltop property. Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the most a weekend away can offer. Great birthday weekend, Thanks so much!" Guest, Topsfield ,MA

"The Farm and B & B is a treat. The decor is quaint and yet metropolitan. The owners are friendly, welcoming and magnificent cooks. The land is luscious and the vegetables are organic. What a sweet time we had there. Michael and Laura were fun and interesting people who were freely sharing their own journeys with us. My friend and I were tended to with a beautiful sunset, a fire in the evening, and fresh eggs in the morning! It was the perfect place for the respite we were looking for. We will return to this gem of a place over and over again. I cannot say enough about this establishment. You won't be disappointed." Guest, Poughkeepsie, NY
