the place

A hundred acres designed for everything you've been postponing.

Within reach of NYC. A working farm. Studios. The kind of land that does something to your nervous system the moment you step on it.

the working farm

A real food system, not a backdrop.

Crops grown on-site. Livestock pastured ethically. A greenhouse for year-round food. Herbs from the garden into the kitchen. A petting farm for guests and birthday parties. Produce sold to members, at local farmers markets, and through a CSA when the farm is running.

  • Vegetable, fruit, and herb crops across the seasons
  • Greenhouse for year-round growing and education
  • Pastured livestock (meat, dairy, wool) — full-circle, ethical use
  • Petting farm for family events and visiting groups
  • Farm-to-table meals for members, guests, and overnight stays
  • CSA subscriptions and on-site farmer's market

studios & spaces

Open access. Real equipment. Other makers in the room.

Like a gym membership, but for the full range of your creative life. Drop in, use what you want, leave or stay.

IMAGE — Art / drawing / painting studio. Light through large windows. Easels, in-progress canvases.
IMAGE — Pottery wheel mid-throw. Clay hands. Warm tones.
IMAGE — Music production booth. Mic, mixing board, headphones on a hook.
IMAGE — Analog darkroom. Red light. Prints hanging on a line.
IMAGE — Welding sparks. Safety mask. Industrial fabrication zone.
IMAGE — Wood shop. Sawdust. Tools on a pegboard. Half-finished bench.
IMAGE — Dance studio. Empty mirrored room with afternoon light.
IMAGE — Mechanic shop with car on a lift. Tools, ramps, organized chaos.
Sport & play

Healthy challenge.

Courts and fields for basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and pickleball. Climbing, archery, paintball, skate, slacklines. Off-season ski training. Real range, all levels.

Wellness

Movement & recovery.

Yoga and meditation hall. A real gym. Sauna and cold plunge. Mobility and recovery as the daily backbone, not just retreat-style intensives.

Quiet

Permanent quiet zones.

The library. Hammock zones. Reading spots near the water. A pond or natural pool. Trails. Doing nothing is a valid activity.

care & family

Bring the family. Bring the dog.

Pets and kids are welcome with their caretaker. For times you want to be fully present in a workshop, on a trail, or in a quiet room, on-site care is available — supervised children's space and doggy daycare, bookable in advance.

  • Doggy daycare staffed by people who know dogs
  • Supervised children's activity space with nature-tied programming
  • Restricted access to hazard zones (fab shop, mechanic bay, ranges)
  • Family-friendly lodging and meal options
events & rentals

Host something here.

The event barn, outdoor venues, and specific facilities can be booked by outside groups — no membership required. Weddings, birthdays, corporate retreats, school groups, creative-team off-sites. Community blackout dates are honored.

  • Event barn for weddings and large gatherings
  • Birthday packages with the petting farm
  • Corporate and creative team retreats
  • Block bookings of studios, courts, or fields
  • Catering through the on-site kitchen
