Our Story
Dreamland Harvest was established in 2012 by Chaya Lipkind at the farm’s original location in Monticello, NY. When the demand for the farm’s produce exceeded the available growing area, Chaya and a group of friends searched for the perfect new location and, in 2015, purchased the current Dreamland property, formerly a summer camp in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and a local stagecoach stop back in the ‘20s.
Chaya broke ground on the new farm in 2018. We grow a wide variety of specialty vegetables, culinary herbs, edible flowers, and mushrooms using sustainable agricultural methods. We don’t use any chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, or pesticides. Instead, we build healthy soil through crop rotation, companion planting, soil testing, and compost application. Our seeds are primarily organic and heirloom varieties.
