Farmhouse on 156-acre working sheep dairy, fully renovated in 2001, with stunning mountain views, private swimming pool, close proximity to High Peaks hiking trails, 15 min to Whiteface and 25 to Lake Placid. Come enjoy a fantastic Adirondack farm-stay at Blue Pepper Farm!

The space
Blue Pepper Farm is a working sheep dairy in the Au Sable Valley of the Adirondack Mountains. Our 156-acre farm sits across the valley from the hamlet of Jay and its historic covered bridge along with excellent views of Whiteface and the Wilmington Range.

Guests will enjoy a staggering mountain panorama from the porch, deck, or pool overlooking the lush pastures where sheep and laying hens graze. Harvest dinner with us straight from the garden in the summer and fall to accompany fresh organically raised lamb, pork and eggs right from our farm. We are certified by Animal Welfare Approved and pride ourselves on healthy, happy animals. Where we provide supplemental feed we use NY organic grains and are part of Northeast Organic Farmer's Association's Farmer's Pledge program.

The house has 4 bedrooms; one king, one queen, one full and two twin beds (cribs available). There are 3 bathrooms. Enjoy in-floor radiant heat throughout the house during the colder months.

BPF is 25 minutes to Lake Placid, 15 minutes to Keene, 15 minutes to Whiteface, 1.5 miles off the bike loop of the Ironman, and surrounded by trailheads for great hiking. Take a jaunt down to the Jay Town Green for live music on Saturday evenings or a relaxing dip in the river. Enjoy over 2 miles of xc ski/snowshoeing perimeter trail on the property.

Tyler and Shannon can help you plan the quintessential Adirondack stay with detailed info on hiking/backpacking, skiing/snowboarding, rock climbing, bicycling, fishing and canoeing as well as the connections for fantastic local meats, cheeses and vegetables through our relationships with local farmers, chefs, caterers and restaurants.

Guest access
Guests enjoy the entire 4 bedroom farmhouse, pool and surrounding yard, including a fire pit, a horseshoe pit by the pool, and a perfect hammock in the shade, or sledding hill in the winter.
Guests are asked to not visit the barns, animals, and workshop unless on a tour with the farmers, which we're happy to accommodate.
