Farms of the Adirondacks

Farming in the Adirondacks

People have been faming in the Adirondacks since the first white people settled here. As food became more plentiful, farms got larger and there wasn't a need for farms in the Adirondacks. soon the Adirondacks had a lot of open fields and old farms that had been abandoned.

In the present day, Farming is coming back to the Adirondack Park in a new form. Organic and Environmentally Friendly farming practices. There are many farms even in the High Peaks region of the park. Some of the farms are veggie farms, dairy farms, and livestock farms. Some examples of these farms are Blue Pepper Farm , Mace Chasm Farm , North Country Creamery , Asgaard Dairy , and Essex Farm

The Adirondack mountains are perfect for raising sheep and cows for dairy purposes. Animals don't require flat land to raise them and most often, animals are happier with some terrain differentiation and a diverse biosystem.
