About Us
who we are
/i//xmas09_small.jpg

We are the Blanchard family...We purchased this 150 acre farm in the fall of '01,  and finally built the family homestead here in '06. We absolutely love this valley, and are anxious to open our property for others to enjoy our little heaven on earth as well.  We can always be contacted at 315-762-3090 or katrina@wolfoakacres.com to answer any questions, or discuss any ideas you may have!

We now have 4 children of our own - our oldest daughter is autistic, and a fourth just arrived!  We continuously  strive to work with the handicap community  and are hoping to make the harvest festival as accessible as possible to people of all abilities.  Durind these start up years of trying to establish ourselves in the agritourism world, we may not be able to offer all of the services and activities as we would like - but we will strive to make the future of this farm an all inclusive property with plenty of hands on educational opportunities for all.  This is why we will be partnering with many charities promoting the uniqueness of individuals, and not the difference of being disabled.

Please feel free to contact us anytime - with suggestions, opinions, or anything you may need!  We are always looking forward to talking to our fellow neighbors and friends!

OUR NEWEST ADDITION!!! 

 

Mikayla Brook decided to arrive on January 29, 2011 - weighing in a 6 lbs and 10 oz, 21" long.  She's already become a wonderful world traveler - taking to the air and water by 4 weeks - traveling to the Virgin Islands. Hoping this is just the start of an exciting future for her!  Can't wait for everyone to  meet her this fall! 

 WOLF OAK ACRES: OUR SPECIAL TREE

   OUR SPECIAL MISSION   

 

A "wolf tree" is the most dominant tree within the surrounding woods.  It gives a clue to the once open field in which it at one time grew alone.  Our wolf tree is an oak - which the DEC believes may be one of the largest in Madison County.  We still haven't had the opportunity to measure it yet - but we will certainly be finding out if we will hold the county record for the largest oak tree! 

 From solar panels and geothermal heat pumps , to our custom green energy efficient thermapan home - as well as our agritourism playgrounds - you probably can't find anywhere more environmentally friendly!

We look forward to passing along any information you may need on how to "go green!"

We will continue to work with the DEC and NRCS on environmental campaigns, and have already been the recipients of several grants.  We have created several wildlife habitat and food plots, specifically designed to foster many of our deer, turkey, fowls, and fish.  We have also just created an 8 acre "forever wild" conservation area on the southern border of our property.  The NRCS have created new wetlands to restore much needed habitat for our seasonal friends in the fall.  We hope to open this part of our property up to field trips and visitors to explore our conservation area, view the wildlife, walk our miles of forest trails, and find a truly unique experience on our farm.

Our entire property is as green as possible.
