About
Three Stone Farm on May 6th 2009
Three Stone Farm began in 2002 as a labor of love on a 17-acre homestead in Astoria, Oregon. In 2008, we moved the farm onto 60 acres of land in Interlaken, New York, in the beautiful Finger Lakes.
We are transitioning the land that once grew “the Western Three Sisters” (corn, wheat and soybeans) to a natural diverse family farm. We currently manage a little over 1 1/2 acres as our market garden, with the rest of the tillable land in fledgling orchards, animal pastures and some rented out to a local organic grain farmer.
We are a family that chooses to live and work simply and sustainably. We are committed to staying small-scale, diverse and local; and to produce the best of food for our friends and neighbors.
Why “Three Stone Farm”?
A three stone fire is the most basic of cooking hearths: three stones are placed in a close circle and used both to regulate the fire and balance the pot. When used with skill, it is still one of the most efficient ways to cook. We chose the name as a reminder of simplicity, efficiency, and appropriateness. We try to practice these in our daily life, living off-grid and being as self-sufficient, yet co-supporting as we can.

Currently we are at the Trumansburg Farmers Market on Wednesdays in June through October from 4-7pm. We are starting a small-scale CSA this year. Visit the links below, contact us or come visit us at the market for more information—we love to talk about our farm!
