Harvest Fest is TODAY!

It's looking to be a perfect day to come out to Stony Kill Farm and enjoy some fall festivities. Come get in the ring with our 4H shepherds and their sheep, watch our Milking Devon oxen demos, listen to live music, paint a pumpkin, picnic on the grass enjoying food truck fare, meet our visiting animals and jump on the hay ride to end the day! Lots to do and enjoy while supporting a Stony Kill community event.

📅 Today! October 3
⏰ 11am to 3pm
📍 Stony Kill Farm, 79 Farmstead Lane, Wappingers
🎟 Entrance and parking are free with a $5 suggested donation at our Welcome Tent. Donations help support our educational community events and stewardship of Stony Kill Farm.
🚙 Parking is at the north entrance. Attendees can walk along the farm lane to the festivities at the south end or enjoy a hay ride there. Accessible parking is at the south entrance and is limited.

We'll see you at the farm!

Look at these little ones and how much they've grown!

If you were at the DC Fair in August, you may have seen these little ones hatching in the incubator or keeping warm in the brooder. Since the fair, they've been enjoying time in our classroom brooder, growing their feathers in, chirping louder each day and going through that awkward teenage-chicken phase as they mature into their adult selves.

They’re growing up way too fast! 🐥

On Friday, we traveled to Lake George to attend the “Power of Partnerships” friends conference hosted by Parks & Trails New York.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet and learn from other New York non-profits who share Stony Kill Foundation’s mission to sustain and preserve access to open space. Our staff also enjoyed presentations from three outstanding keynote speakers: Amanda Lefton, NYS DEC Commissioner, Kathy Moser, NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner and Tiffany Rea-Fisher, from the Adirondack Diversity Initiative. Their insights, perspectives, and commitment to protecting and diversifying New York’s environment and parks were truly inspiring.

Stony Kill Foundation was one of only four organizations to receive an Award for Stewardship and Public Access which honors our commitment to strengthening parks, building meaningful partnerships and expanding community impact through the Parks & Trails grant program. Stony Kill received significant funding from PTNY for Phase I of the barn restoration for better accessibility, improved animal housing and safe fencing. Executive Director Stacey Lynch Adnams accepted this special honor on behalf of the Stony Kill Foundation.

We could not create these vital improvements without the incredible work and support of organizations like Parks and Trails NY! We are proud to share this award with the entire Stony Kill community. We couldn’t do what we do without your help!

We welcomed three groups of homeschool students who are looking forward to a season of hands-on learning in the barn and around the property. This week, our students spent time in the barn visiting our livestock and learning about cold-weather crops—getting a chance to connect their learning with the animals, land, and changing seasons around them.

We’re also excited to introduce our newest intern who will be co-teaching the Homeschool program, Hannah! Hannah recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Environmental Science and a minor in Political Science. When she’s not learning and working alongside our students, she enjoys reading and spending time in nature.

We’re so happy to have Hannah joining us and can’t wait to see all the learning, growing, and adventures with our homeschoolers this fall!
