Interested in farming sustainably? You could benefit from New York’s passion for quality local food through looking at this 97-acre turnkey farm located in Andes, a hot hamlet in the heart of Delaware County, NY in the Greater Western Catskills. Evans and Evans Farm has profited from regenerative farming practices for 18 years, the last 12 here in Andes. The owners are retiring, but they have benefited from the strong demand for premium grass-fed meat from NYC (just 150 miles south) as well as from the local area. The farm’s operational infrastructure includes a versatile five-barn complex ready for livestock management, equipment and hay storage, while the entire pasture system is masterfully enclosed using a combination of high-tensile woven wire, electric fencing and frost-free hydrants throughout. Substantial grants are available from federal, state and local sources for genuine regenerative farming, making the sustainability of this farm easier to achieve. Protected agricultural status ensures a permanent agricultural tax discount, and the property is bordered by 322 acres of NYC-owned land offering unique opportunities to lease additional acreage for haying or grazing. Water resources are abundant, featuring a protected mountain spring with reliable gravity-fed water rights and a large pond. These provide significant water storage and recreational value near a secondary build-site. A natural babbling brook runs through the entire property. The 1850s farmhouse includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms and is optimized for a farm-to-table lifestyle with a south-facing sunroom ideal for early-season seed starting, and a high-efficiency wood stove for low-cost heating. Located just 6 minutes from the bustling hamlet of Andes and 20 minutes from the Belleayre ski resort, you have immediate access to regional markets while maintaining a secluded, top-of-the-hollow position. With its beauty and charm, Andes has become an attractive destination for weekenders and many permanent residents who work remotely from home. As such, it is a vibrant community with a strong market for local food. This farm is a golden opportunity to tap into that fast-growing market.
