Echo Farm is a diversified 170 acre farm nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks. We grow and raise chickens, beef, dairy cows, pigs, hay, vegetables, flowers, and timber.  Our team works tirelessly to grow ingredients and create food that is seasonal, adventurous and beautiful. We work alongside our sister company, Farmstead Catering, to operate a synergy between farm and kitchen by “insourcing” all the ingredients for both on-farm and off-site events in upstate New York. Our farm is powered by solar and biodiesel we make from animal waste. We focus on soil health and regenerative methods to develop our own terroir. Our mission is to create events centered around food that is grown at our farm using sustainable methods. We want food and our farm to ignite conversations around food security, resilience and community. We take pride in our work and we take pleasure in sharing this bounty with others regardless of background.

We’re looking for a variety of passionate individuals to fill key roles either as independent part-time positions or in combination as full-time work. Employees are provided training and experience that can build on a career at our operation, or for moooving on! And we have some housing options available if anybody is moving to the area for work.
