Condition & Current Use
Sawkill Farm is currently operated as a grass fed & pasture based livestock farm. We have a popular farm store on our property, located on a main road in central location in Red Hook, which we hope can be utilized by a new tenant. There is a commercial kitchen (currently certified only to sell out of the farm store but could be recertified depending on needs), large equipment barn, walk in fridge and freezer, water and electrical access throughout property, hay storage sheds and a green house. We currently live on the property and will continue to do so. There is no other housing currently on the farm. There is a creek bisecting the property. All acerage is fenced in for cattle and sheep.
We are in the process of winding down our farm operation and will not be farming after this season.
Soil Types
Farm History & Past Use
For the past 12 years we have been running a grass- fed and pasture based livestock operation. Prior to that the farm was a horse farm.
Tenure Options
Looking for a long term lease with someone running their own farm business. We will continue to live on the property and have two young children (2 & 5 years). We will not be farming ourselves. There is currently no housing for a farmer on-site but we are open to you adding housing.
