About Abode Farm

Abode Farm is a diversified, NOFA-NY certified organic vegetable farm located in New Lebanon, New York just over the Massachusetts border. We work with draft horses and tractors on 14 acres to supply fresh produce to our CSA members, farmers markets, schools, food pantries, restaurants, and distributors. Our farm leases land from a spiritual retreat center and a residential high school, and we work in close partnership with the Mount Lebanon Artist Residency, so we are often interacting with and working alongside students, artists, and the public. We also work with a local farm-based youth development program. Check out our website for more info: www.abodefarm.com .
