Great Song Farm is a diverse community farm managed using organic and environmentally sustainable practices. We are located on Milan Hill Rd., just 10 minutes from the center of Red Hook and Rhinebeck. Our farm is on 90 acres of land leased through a generous agricultural easement, with 1.5 acres in vegetable and flower cultivation and the rest comprised of cedar and hardwood forest, wetlands, and rolling green pastures.
In the winter of 2019, Emily Eder & Maggie Thomas purchased the Great Song Farm business, along with some existing infrastructure from Anthony Mecca and Sarah Hearn, who were farming the land using organic and biodynamic practices for 8 seasons.
Emily and Maggie, both California natives, met on a small farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains where they bonded over their shared interests of agriculture, art, food, etc. Before taking on the mantle of Great Song Farm, Emily and Maggie worked for three seasons at an organic farm across the river in Hurley, NY in the roles of Crew Manager and Post Harvest Manager respectively.
