Apple Pond Farm

We are Sullivan County’s only solar and wind powered organic farm, offering farm vacations and interactive, educational programs for adults and children. We follow many green practices: solar and wind power for electricity (meeting 90% of our energy needs), compost of household and farm waste, humane treatment of animals, water conservation, no chemical pesticides or herbicides. We delight in talking with guests about climate change, how each of us can make a difference in building sustainable communities.
