About Ambrosia Farms

Ambrosia Farms is located in the Central Valley of NYS bordering the counties of Otsego, Oneida, Chenango, and Madison. This area of UpState New York is largely agricultural - dairy farms and Holstein cows dot the hillsides. Known as the Leatherstocking region, evoking memories of historic settlers to Native American lands of Oneida Indians. You'll live for a time in the Leatherstocking tales of James Fenimore Cooper. There is a richness of nature and vast blue sky panoramas where children and adults become one with the Earth.

The landscape is defined by ice age glaciers. The quiet and spaciousness of these rural hamlets are unaffected by modernization. There is a time passage back to the early 1900s. Farmers appear in tractors to plant cornfields and later in small parades of antique cars on Sunday drives through the winding roads. Elsewhere, riders on horseback enjoy miles of beautifully preserved bridal paths. Freshly grown food - great tasting to appetites stimulated by country air and activity. Children quickly participate in the chores of the farm for the opportunity to care for the vast array of animals. Yours too will ask "When can we go back to Ambrosia Farms?"

Ambrosia Farms is building a network of small farmers growing for Farmers Frozen Foods, a regionally processed frozen foods product of sustainable heirloom flash frozen vegetables. In 2005, we were awarded a SARE (sustainable agriculture research and education) grant.

Articles on this work have appeared in Cornell Small Farms Quarterly, Fruit Growers News, Vegetable Growers News. We are a unique agritourism destination, and have grown and raised heirloom vegetables and heritage breeds for over 20 years.
Our work has a very large philanthropic purpose - dedicated to saving small family farms in the Northeast, genetic diversity through seed saving and cultural traditions, natural nutrients, fine arts, and preservation of natural ecosystems including land, water, and wildlife.
