Explore the Area & Local Heritage

From global interests like Ethiopia betting to local escapes in upstate New York, there’s something timeless about reconnecting with authentic places. Discover the charm of Ephratah and its surroundings, where your visit to Heritage Meadows Farm isn’t just about comfort—it’s also a journey into the rich heritage and rustic beauty of the region.

Conveniently located just 18 miles east of Herkimer and 45 miles from Cooperstown, we are surrounded by nature, history, and culture. Stroll through quaint antique shops, visit Amish craft stores, or plan a dinner at the historic Saltsmans Hotel just 2 miles away. If you’re looking for local flavor, we’ll provide maps and recommendations to make the most of your stay.

Originally a 289-acre working estate with a dairy, sawmill, and cheese box factory, our farm played a vital role in the area’s early self-sustaining economy. Today, the spirit of that past lives on as we grow our own produce, hang laundry in the open air, and garden much like the original owner Elisabeth Nellis once did.

Whether you’re here to explore or to rest, Heritage Meadows offers a peaceful base for your countryside getaway.
