Magic Forest Farm

**Please confirm you have read our property description and rules before booking**

Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and small campground devoted to the principles of organic farming and self-reliance. Modern agriculture and big business are unsustainable, destroying farmland at an accelerating pace. It is important for us to teach the next generation, there is an alternative. We produce much of our own food. We have friendly goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, donkeys and horses the guests can pet and feed. There are no swimming holes on our property, but many waterfalls and swimming spots within a short drive (see list below). A quick 5 minute drive will get you to one of the best disc golf courses in the north east. For the truly adventurous, Clarksville Cave is a short drive away. Visit their website for list of proper gear and rules. We do rent some of the equipment needed.

A Promise to Gaia/Garden Of One

Our focus and purpose on this land is to provide stewardship and sanctuary for the Natural world to maintain it’s own balance with minimal interference from humans.

To remain wild and free.

We are a plant, wildlife and butterfly sanctuary.

We rent the lodgings (Chalet, Cabin & Glampsite)
to support and fund the maintenance and expansion of native and pollinating species of plants, expanding the area that we steward, providing habitat and refuge for animals, insects, birds and more.

We wish to share our sacred land with people that love and respect the Earth, who wish to contribute to a conservation project through their own presence and mindfulness.

Once a RV camping park called "Thunder Hill Campground" in the late 1960's early 1970's, the land sat mostly unused for 15 years before Rachel came to steward it 20 years ago.

We are 107 acres of forest, a 9
acre lake, ponds, creeks, labyrinth, a Holistic Retreat Center & Organic Permaculture Farm at a
2000 foot elevation in the Heldeberg Mountains.

500 million years ago during the Devonian Period this was a sea, so we live in shale based mountains with lots of fossils! The Heldebergs are one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth, these mountains have been worn down to 2000 feet over time.

Native Americans lived in the area many years ago and we are quite sure this was Native American sacred ceremony land.

Hiking, canoeing, swimming and fishing (catch & release only) are available on site.
 There are many places to hike in the area, an Eagle Trail
and in winter, 2 miles away, is a Nature Preserve that rents snowshoes and has
trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing,

Very rural and private, even though we are only 25 miles SW of Albany, NY the capital of NYS, here it is quiet and peaceful.

We do have 3 very friendly dogs that will want to be your best friends. Also farm animals that you can meet.

There will be farm noises, roosters greeting the morning and various grunts and snorts... far less noise than any modern city.

Albany, along with the surrounding areas, have many events etc going on. There's hiking, biking, nature parks, horse racing, concerts, festivals and events and so much more. Links and information can be provided to campers that stay with us that are looking for entertainment & excursions.

We are near Albany, Berne, Catskill, Cairo, Cobleskill, East Durham, Greenville, Hunter, Knox, Medusa, Oak Hill, Middleburgh, Schoharie, Westerlo, Windham.

Honey Hollow Farmstay

We left Brooklyn in 2010 in search of a more farmy life. We found it in Greene County, 2.5 hours north of NYC, on the west bank of the Hudson River. We run a small farm and do our best to live off what we can grow or produce.  Our farmhouse and barn complex have been around since the 1700's, and gone through many different incarnations. Currently we live in the farmhouse, rent out the renovated barn apartment, and use the huge dairy barn for storage. Learn more about this land:Come back to the farm... Search for eggs in hay-filled boxes. Pick raspberries for breakfast pancakes. Feed peppermints to the ponies. Take riding lesson on our sweet Shetland pony.Hold the milk bottle for eager baby lambs. Pick salad for dinner. We are offering “farm camp”, mornings from 9 -11 am. Help with animal care, gardening and do farm crafts and cooking. Grill local foods in a private yard with a view of ponies, sheep, and pastures. Just 2.5 hours north of NYC

it's just a short walk to the Kaaterskills Falls viewing platform

Kaaterskills Falls just a 40 min drive from the farm!

EarthSong

Beautiful secluded 29-acre property in rural New York.  This land had once been part of a large farm for a few hundred years and was subdivided in the early 1990..  Field by field it was let "go wild" and the forests and old fields are rich in stages of succession and biological diversity.   There are miles of maintained trails...and even more if you want to go on trails made by deer and rabbits.Learn more about this land:Put up a tent or sleep under the stars in an clearing in an old meadow, surrounded by forest.  Several trails lead to other places on the land.   Campsite is about a 4-5 minute walk from parking area.  Wagon available to haul your stuff back and forth.   

There is a perfect shady cove cleared out that's perfect for a hammock

We loved getting to pick some fresh ripe blueberries!
