Eight Mile Creek Farm, a family owned and operated farm situated between the Catskill Mountains and the Helderbergs, is located at 40 Johnny Cake Hill Road, Westerlo NY 12193, Albany County in the Hudson Valley. Summer CSA shares are available . From Eight Mile Creek Farm: " Eight Mile Creek Farm is a USDA Certified Organic Farm raising a wide variety of seasonal produce, eggs, beef, pork and chicken year-round, as well as turkey and goose during the holidays." "Established in 2005, Eight Mile Creek Farm sits upon 223 acres (plus 120 acres leased for hay production) tucked away on a dirt road in Westerlo, NY in the Heldeberg Hilltowns. The house and barns were originally built in 1835. From that time until the 1950’s it was a working family farm, transitioning into low-scale agricultural production for hay in the mid-1950’s. "Pam produces more than 30 kinds of fruits and vegetables, offering each kind in several varieties. Produce includes certified organic beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, escarole, fennel, asian greens, lettuce, mesclun, chard, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, melons, watermelon, onions, scallions, parsnips, rutabaga, peppers, radishes, summer and winter squashes, tomatillos, tomatoes, okra, sugar snap peas, brocolli raab, cucumbers, eggplant, beets, and sunflowers. "She also raises certified organic grass-fed beef year-round; animals receive no growth hormones, antibiotics or medications. Pam’s animals are raised the way nature intended- fed lots of green grass in the summer and her own cut hay in the winter. Cage free organic eggs and organic heritage chicken and organic pork are also available. "Our farm consists of hay fields, vegetable gardens, ponds, a creek, woodlands and rolling pastures. Because of the diversity of our landscape, we are home to a variety of wildlife, including river otter, beaver, fisher, porcupine, waterfowl, raccoon, fox, coyote, bear and deer. The farm and some of its buildings date to 1835. Our farm is named after the Eight Mile Creek, which originates in the Helderberg Mountains."
