The Farm
a certified biodynamic farm
 
farm picture Hawthorne Valley Farm is a modern, diversified, biodynamic farm in upstate New York. Our farm spans over 400 acres of woodlands and mountains, open fields and meadows, and flowing creeks and streams. At the heart of the farm is the closed herd of 60 cows which, to a large degree, provides the pulse for and rhythm of the adjunct operations. The cows furnish the milk for our dairy operation; prescribe, to some extent, the cover and feed crops grown to nourish them and the horses, pigs, and laying hens; and provide, along with the other farm animals, the basis of our compost, which is essential for building the soil fertility to ensure that the cycle is continuous.
