Hull-O Farms Family Farm Vacations, located in the Northern Catskills of upstate New York, offers families worldwide a chance to experience a slice of agricultural history. Visitors can partake in hands-on activities such as hand-milking cows and goats, feeding pigs, bottle-feeding a variety of small farm animals, and collecting eggs—often for the first time. Learning about where and how food is grown on this historic bi-centennial farm from real farmers in rural upstate New York provides a unique educational adventure that many visitors describe as “priceless.”
Although families may currently reside in suburbs or cities, it is essential to remember that most people lived closer to farms not long ago. Farm families worked together, fostering closeness while teaching respect and appreciation for the land and animals they cared for. This shared farming heritage is a remarkable connection that transcends generations.
The Family Farm-stay Vacations at Hull-O Farms are genuinely exceptional experiences. Here, generations bond; parents, children, grandparents, and siblings can step back in time to an era when many Americans made their living from the land when more people lived on farms than in cities, and when the rhythms of nature dictated life.
Guests can choose from private accommodations in the Farm Guest Houses and enjoy engaging get-togethers around campfires or during hayrides. Each family member can partake in the daily activities of a real working farm or relax and soak in the stunning beauty of the Great Northern Catskill Mountains.

Both kids and adults can participate in daily farm chores, interact with friendly animals, and enjoy various activities. Each season brings unique adventures, including hayrides, fishing, hiking, leaf peeping, bonfires, and sledding.
When guests arrive, they are embraced as part of the farm family. They participate in everyday tasks and enjoy a warm welcome. Upon arrival, an itinerary and farm maps outline the chore schedule.

In addition to the chores, there’s plenty of time for enjoyable activities, such as playing with rabbits, snuggling kittens, fishing in the pond, taking hayrides through the fields, exploring the beautiful countryside, and enjoying cozy bonfires with s’mores.
