Tablelands Farm

Tablelands Farm is being re-established on Bear Cub Lane, as a farm where productive agriculture and hands-on education will come together. The farm will demonstrate how thoughtful stewardship of the land can produce healthy food, protect natural resources, and provide engaging experiences for people of all ages.

We believe farms are more than places where food is grown—they are research sites, wildlife habitat, and living classrooms. As the farm grows, visitors will have opportunities to learn about farming practices and local food systems, explore the connections between agriculture and the Adirondacks' unique ecology, and spend meaningful time in the natural world.

Tablelands Farm is guided by a commitment to responsible agricultural production, ecological conservation, experiential education, and intentional community partnerships. While the farm is still in development, educational programming is already underway. During the 2025–2026 school year, students from local school districts participated in hands-on learning experiences focused on soil health and food production. 

As the farm evolves, it will welcome students, educators, researchers, volunteers, nonprofit partners, and community members to learn, collaborate, and connect. Through these experiences, the farm will become a place where curiosity is encouraged, knowledge is shared, and stewardship is put into practice.

The Uihlein Foundation, together with a group of agricultural professionals, have created a master plan that outlines phases for implementation and the future of Tablelands Farm. We are excited for the return of farming on this land, appreciate the history embedded here, and look forward to sharing the farm with our local community.
