Summary
Stony Creek Farm is located in the NW corner of the Catskill Mountains in Walton, NY. A working dairy for over 100 years, the Marsiglio family moved to the farm in 1985. In 2005 Kate and Dan returned (from travels abroad and life in the city) to the farm to raise authentic, sustainable food for their family.
This year marks the fifth growing season at Stony Creek. There are countless laying hens, a flock of sheep, a handful of heritage breed Tamworth pigs, as well as assorted turkeys and guinea hens, and a Jersey dairy cow, Sierra. We adhere to rigorous free-range pasturing practices for all of our animals and supplement their grazing diet with local organic grains. We sell cuts of fresh and smoked pork, whole chickens, lamb, and eggs right from the farm.
2009 marked our launch into farm stays when we became part of the Featherdown Farm Days franchise, begun in Holland and spread throughout the UK, Germany, and now France. We are the first one here in the U.S. We offer accommodations in one of our 'plush-rustic' tents, where you will sleep in comfortable bedding, cook on the wood stove, and even enjoy a pizza dinner baked in the outdoor pizza oven. Camping has never been so fun!
