What we love about the Mohawk Valley

The landscape that is the Mohawk Valley has so much to take in from the mighty Mohawk River, to the farms working the land, to the woods and wilderness accessible by many trails crisscrossing the valley. Living in Herkimer County, we love learning about its landscape and history to really be connected and live our best life in the Mohawk Valley today.

Locust Trees Were Too Close For Comfort

Since we moved to the Mohawk Valley we have been working to clear some of the land around the house. We love our trees, but there are a few that were just too closer comfort.

Harvesting Black Walnuts in the Mohawk Valley

This reel shows you how we collected, husked, cleaned, dried, opened and baked what we harvested. We had a great time and really love the flavor of the walnuts we collected!

Are we farmers now – we got a Tractor!

For our first few years here on the Mohawk Valley homestead we worked to clear some of the land around the house. But progress was slow. Everything was manual labor – lift and carry.
