GEM Farms

The Mesick's family farm began in 1793, where an immigrant from Southern Germany, Fritz Mesick, purchased approximately 100 acres in South Schodack where they established a dairy farm. This original piece of land is still in the Mesick family today, along with new additions of land making it approximately a total of 600 acres. We now have approximately 85 buffalo, give or take a few horns. Along

with our buffalo, we also have beefer cows that we acquired in 2005. Both of these herds are grass fed and are not given grain or antibiotics. You can find frozen cuts of both kinds of meat in our farm store along with many other gift items. Our store is open all throughout the year on Saturday's and Sunday's from 12:00 - 4:00 or throughout the week by appointment. Not only do we have our farm store, we also have our farm stand during the summer and fall! At our farm stand you can find all sorts of vegetables including our famous sweet corn! Vegetables include zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, and egg plant. In the fall we sell jack-o-lantern pumpkins, pie pumpkins, white pumpkins, gourds, acorn squash, delicata squash, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, straw bails, and corn stalks. There is something for everyone! Stop on by and don't hesitate to say hello! Enjoy the view and take pictures.
