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.

Early Spring in the Mohawk Valley

Looking Ahead – Spring in the Mohawk Valley

Looking ahead to Spring, we dwell on thoughts of being outside more, gardening, and getting out and about in the Mohawk Valley. Spring, which officially began on March 21st—seems a bit slow to arrive. The snow has already melted, the ground is softened, and yet, there are snow flurries across the Mohawk Valley today.

Jim Has a Big Question 1600v3

The Big Question

It has been a long, winding adventure that has found us living here in the Mohawk Valley and the big question is still with us. If you were to ask me when I was young where I thought we might end up some day, I’m not sure I could have guessed the Mohawk Valley is the place. But I'm so glad we're here!
