Apple Pond Farm
and Renewable Energy Education Center
Apple Pond Farm and Renewable Education Center is closed, except for farm stays in our loft apartment.
Dick Riseling and Sonja Hedlund are retiring, after their 55 year tenure, and actively seeking new ownership.
​
The 81-acre farm is under a Conservation Easement with the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, and offers
so much potential for future stewards. Interested parties can contact sonja@applepondfarm.com

We were so happy to be profiled recently by the New York Times, along
with other Sullivan County Farmers and peers.
"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness." -Thomas Jefferson
NEWS AND UPDATES
Welcoming visitors for a close look at our farm has been our pleasure for more than 50 years. However, we have made the difficult decision to stop farm visits after our farm was hit by a tornado in 2023. Thankfully, no animals or people were harmed!
We are only open for farm stays in our loft apartment.
​
We encourage you to consider how you might address climate change, conserve energy and produce some of your own food. Thanks to the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, our 80 acres are
now preserved as farm land in perpetuity.
