Heritage Meadows Farm Bed & Breakfast
BED & BREAKFAST
Spend a night in the country, in a restored
1855 farmhouse, with all the ambiance of
a "time gone by".....and enjoy a real "old
fashioned" farm country breakfast - or
perhaps a dessert on the deck overlooking
our new pond (with waterfall) and garden.
Enjoy a day in the country, Maps of local
restaurants, antique shops, Amish specialty
locations, skiing locations and many others
available----or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
Heritage Meadows Farm B & B is actually located in Ephratah,
NY, which is 18 miles east of Herkimer, 45 miles east of
Cooperstown, 13 miles west of Johnstown and 45 miles west of
Saratoga.
Originally the farmstead was built by Stephen Whitlock in 1855, then later left to his son
John and his wife Elisabeth Nellis. The original farm consisted of 289 acres, including a
dairy farm, Whitlock Mills which was a sawmill and lumber yard, and a cheese box factory.
Between the lumber mill and the dairy farm, crops,and a cheese box factory the farmstead
was pretty much self sufficient. In our own way we have tried to also grow most of our
vegetables, fruits and eggs... and can, freeze and preserve everything possible. We also
hang our wash on outside lines as much as weather permits and plan our gardening in a way
that Elisabeth might have done so long ago. Heritage Meadows Farm, now only 60 acres, is
located in the heart of "farm first country", shared with Amish neighbors.
