Meadowland Farm is one of Dutchess County's historical homestead farms, dating back to the 1790s. From the mid-19th century until 1997, the property was owned by multiple generations of a single family. The Quaker-owned property reportedly served as a stop on the Underground Railroad prior to the Civil War.
The property has been continuously farmed since its inception, evolving from a diversified farm to a dairy operation in the early 20th century. The current owners purchased the 134-acre property in 1997 and returned the farm to its traditionally diversified activities, which encompass growing a large variety of fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised meat and chickens.
Stop by the farm stand and pick up some delicious organic produce, meat and eggs, all raised on the farm, as well as custom Meadowland Farm merchandise (caps, totes, mugs). You'll also find Meadowland Farm's famous farm-roasted Willard Coffee, along with handmade jams and dozens of other packaged products from the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas.
All are welcome to stop by and visit with the resident donkeys, Chauncey and Webster. The roadside stand is open Thursday through Sunday, April through November, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
