About The Farm

Herricks Lane Farm is located in the hamlet of Jamesport, NY, and is the home of Herricks Herbs & Heirlooms Organic Nursery, Herricks Hens Eggs, Double Duty Vermicompost, and now the Herb Loft Apothecary.  We are a unique farm committed to sustainable practices.   The farm was originally purchased in 2001 as a horse farm.  In the quest for self-sufficiency and high quality organic food, a free-range flock of chickens and a large kitchen garden soon followed.  Unable to source the heirloom herb and vegetable varieties we wished to grow in our garden, we began starting all of our own seedlings in our small greenhouse.  With the copious amounts of manure provided by the farm's horses, our gardens flourished.  Now over two decades later, we offer the products of the sustainable practices we employ at the farm--composted and cured horse manure, vermicompost, composting worms, certified organic seedlings, medicinal herbs, and truly free-range eggs.  

In 2017, we became certified organic through NOFA-NY, LLC, and began constructing a large scale medicinal herb garden.  In addition to the physical products we produce, the farm offers educational opportunities to all ages through its various workshops and programs.
