Other things to note
There's lots to do on the farm!
Pack a fishing pole or kayak and spend a quiet afternoon on the creek. Enjoy a bike ride or a walk on the beautiful country road. Make time to stroll in our organic vegetable and flower garden, or go hiking on the over 200 acres of quiet country fields and woodlands. Behold the breathtaking splendor of New England’s Fall colors during September/October. Build a fire in the outdoor fire pit and cook marshmallows in the backyard. Relax in the backyard hammock during the summer. Pack your cross country skis to enjoy a winter wonderland.
A three quarter mile uphill hike leads to the cabin in the woods. Pack a picnic lunch and spend a quiet afternoon sitting on the cabin porch or in front of the fire.
The farm is close to Ithaca, Elmira, Owego and Binghamton.
