Columbia County NY Farms
are in transition from the once dominant farm culture in towns like Ancram, Livingston, Germantown, Hillsdale, Ghent and Chatham. Residential developments have sprung up in Hudson, Greenport, Claverack and Kinderhook. Today a small number of specialty farms remain. Those looking to farm or those looking for commercial use or just investment. We have agents who specialize in land sales. We know land, will walk the land with you and advise you on how to achieve the true value of Columbia county land. The general rule is that large acreage is less expensive per acre than smaller acreage. Per acre is also affected by topography, open versus wooded land and views. Another major factor is the subdivision potential. Easements restricting the use or subdivision of land diminish its value.
Columbia County NY farms
at one time were the central economic basis of Columbia County. The tradition of farming now is maintained by some remaining large fruit orchards and dairy farms and the growth of smaller specialty farms, maintained by local growers and wealthy individuals who support farming as a way of life. A number of local farmers sell their produce direct to consumers at farmers market in New York City, Albany and at local places.
Beef farms have sprung up veering away from antibiotic laced food to natural grass feed. Other farms grow organic vegetables. Local cheeses, meats and ice creams are on the rise using local livestock, including cows, sheep, llamas, buffalo and goats. And the growth of local horse farms, though slowing in the past several years, has been impressive, spurred on by the success of New York State horse racing.
