Guided Hikes
In an oasis in the historic Hudson Valley, explore 130 acres of bucolic views while walking down one of the marked, wooded trails. There are three tours available. The first is a gentle stroll around the farm experiencing fields planted with organic crops. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about our farming process. Bring your family, and enjoy getting to see the sheep and our resident burro, a type of small donkey, name Frankie.

The guided nature hike is designed for more experienced hikers, as it has steep inclines and other physical challenges. If you love exercise in the great outdoors, then this one may be the right choice for you. The third opportunity is for those who enjoy meditation. A walk down to the local creek will go through nine mindfulness stations, ending with making tea from herbs picked while on the walk.
For the best experience, I recommend checking the weather forecast before arriving to ensure your comfort on the walk. Bringing a water bottle and wearing sturdy shoes is also highly recommended. You may wish to bring a small journal or drawing pad. Outdoor cushions and campstools are available upon request.
