Enjoy the outdoors in the Mohawk Valley

Are you the outdoorsy type? Do you want to be? Join Jim as he explores and shares what he loves about the Mohawk Valley.

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!

Snowy Day Reel

We decided to have a little fun on the recent snowy day here in the Mohawk Valley! Snowy days often bring with them the need to clear driveways, steps and cars.

A Snowy Day

Its the same each time. It happens just once each winter. The very first “significant” snowfall. The First Snow is indeed a magical event! The snow covers everything and makes the world a little bit brighter, cleaner, and quieter for just a little while.

Black Walnut Cold Stratification

Black Walnut Cold Stratification Experiments

Black Walnut Trees on our property are such beautiful trees! But the nuts require cold stratification in order to sprout. That means the nuts must go through an extended cold period to start the growing process.

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.
