Facebook: Birdsong Farm Community Garden
The Birdsong Farm Community Garden is designed to be accessible to gardeners of all ages and experience levels with raised beds and wide gravel pathways. Bio-intensive practices are utilized to grow the most amount of food in the least amount of space. Unlike allotment-style community gardens, participants work together and share in the harvest. Educators and Master Gardeners from Cornell Cooperative Extension oversee the day-to-day operations, and host educational events and work sessions. The garden is family friendly and is a great place for children (and adults)
to get hands-on experience and gain a greater appreciation for food production.

The Holdridge family has been dairy farming in Delaware County for more than four generations.

You’re welcome to stop in and hear our passion for farming, experience some up-close-and-personal cow interactions, and enjoy a hay ride. We’ve recently opened a farm store with home-grown beef and goods from our local agricultural businesses. We’re excited to partner with our community and offer these products. We’d love to meet you
