We plant 5 acres intensively, growing about 6O kinds of vegetables and herbs, marketing directly to New York City restaurants and stores. We do a smaller local restaurant business, an an on-farm business and CSA. Mountain Dell Farm is located three miles from Route 17, on a dirt road between the Delaware River and the Cannonsville Reservoir. The farm is nestled in the heart of a dell. Wildlife abounds-- geese, ducks, turkeys, eagles, beavers, woodchucks, bobcats, foxes, deer, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even bears.
Mountain Dell Farm is a family farm. Ma , Pa , and two big ole youngsters--18 year old boy, Bera, and 15 year old girl, Shane. Life on this farm means life in this family. We homeschooled the older one, now off to college, and the younger one has been in school for the last six years. We welcome constructive interaction with our kids and can only hope they offer the same. Accommodations are small, but sweet and private, sleeping cabin and trailer overlooking the dell, meals with the family. We eat locally grown meat, as well as vegetarian meals. Vegetarians are welcome. All facilities in the house (a converted dairy barn) are shared, including bathroom, kitchen, computer, piano, library. We are 10 miles from the nearest town, consequently, to leave the farm you need a car.
We live in a beautiful land. Although we work long and hard, we try to get in yoga, swimming in the pond, rafting on the Delaware River, potlucks, county and local fairs, rural parties, and socializing with guests, often NYC escapees looking for a bit of the land. There are some good music clubs and festivals not too far away.
Lisa is also an herbalist; certified with Hart Brent, Susun Weed, and Matthew Wood. She has many herb gardens on the farm--including a SARE funded teaching herb garden. She also teaches herb classes and would love help organizing her new herbal room for consultations.
Mark is active in politics with Progressive parties and with farm organizations. He has run for US Congress and Senate. Mark also likes to make a crop circle every year and photograph it from the sky as a New Year’s card.
