Cornell Farm

292 Lower Pine Valley Road
518-686-5545

Our CSA season is 20 weeks starting in June and running through October. Shares are picked up at the 2 farmers' markets that we attend. Some produce is selected by the farmer the rest of the share you can choose from our market selection that day. Our share is small, inexpensive and is meant to be a supplement to a typical families produce needs. The weekly share averages about $17 of produce each week which is at least a 13% discount for members off our regular market prices. We pick fresh and only offer products that we grow ourselves. We grow over 200 varieties of vegetables so the diversity of our shares is good, we will not give you beet greens 5 weeks in a row, actually we won't give you any unless they come with the beets.

We are a true diverse family farm. Our farm supports 2 generations in 3 households that all farm for a living. We sell eggs, produce, maple syrup, flowers and vegetable starts at markets, and hay, straw and corn cobs from home. We also produce, meats, hay, corn, oats, rye, straw, firewood, lumber and manure for our own use. There is never a dull day here for sure.

Cornell Farm is well know for our eggs since 1940. Our brown eggs are fresh and in high demand. We raise our hens from day old chicks, young birds are range raised outside with mobile brooder houses and mature hens are cage free in our spacious hen house that Grandfather built. We grow our own non-GMO corn, oats and alfalfa and mix feed every few days in small batches right on our farm.
