Framed by the Taconic Range to the south and the Green Mountains of Vermont to the east, and rolling across nearly 288 acres of Rensselaer County farmland, High Meadow Farm presents one of the most complete dairy operations in upstate New York: productive, modern, and rooted in a landscape farmed for generations.
The land speaks first. Certified organic, the pastures are open, well-drained, and shaped by the gentle topography of the Hoosick Valley into broad fields that catch light from horizon to horizon. Some 250 acres are fenced for grazing, with laneways and water infrastructure supporting rotational grazing.
A stream corridor threads through lower ground, lined with hardwoods and woodland that provide shelter, privacy, and a quiet edge to the open landscape. The farm infrastructure is serious and largely current. The centerpiece is a freestall dairy complex built out in 2018, with two connected open barn structures totaling over 27,000 square feet, alongside a swing 16 milking parlor with 226 stalls installed in 2022.
Two Harvestore silos, equipment sheds, a milk house, and a 2024 solar array complement the operation. Gravel roads separate working and residential areas. A three-bedroom farmhouse provides comfortable on-site living quarters. High Meadow Farm is enrolled in the Agricultural District program and carries current agricultural exemptions, supporting the tax base and reflecting the land's productivity.
Its organic certification adds dimension for buyers interested in continuing or building on that platform. In addition, a conservation easement via the Agricultural Stewardship Association valued at $800,000 is in place and available. With the legwork done, this represents real value to an operator seeking immediate, built-in advantages.
For an operator looking to step into a functioning dairy, or a buyer seeking scale, infrastructure, and land quality against one of the finest agricultural backdrops in the Northeast, this is an uncommon offering.
