Handsome Brook Farms

Leave the hustle and bustle of the city and return to simpler times. Nestled between the Catskill and the Adirondack Mountains, Handsome Brook Farm offers a unique blend of town and country living. Built in 1836, Handsome Brook Farm is just 4 miles from the picturesque village of Franklin. Your stay with us will be something special. Located in a quiet Catskill valley, the first thing you will notice is the beauty and peacefulness of your surroundings. Hear the peaceful waters of East Handsome Brook which flow directly behind our home. You can slow down and step back into simpler times at Handsome Brook Farm. When you come to visit, you can be part of our sustainable farm experience. Help in the berry fields and vegetable gardens, feed and groom the animals, pick fruit and vegetables or learn how to make homemade pies, jams, or other items using our farm fresh, or other local ingredients (Betsy is an accomplished baker and our preserves our sold at nearly 100 locations across New York). Our goal is to provide an experience that is fun while giving you a better understanding of the relationship between what you eat and how its grown, with a special focus on products raised or grown in beautiful upstate New York.
