Heritage Meadows Farm Bed & Breakfast

Spend a night in the country, in a restored 1855 Greek Revival 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 gardens.

Enjoy a day in the country, Maps of local restaurants, antique shops, Amish specialty
available—-or just enjoy the peace and quiet. Heritage Meadows Farm B & B is actually located in Fulton County, Ephratah, NY, which is 18 miles east of Herkimer, 45 miles east of Cooperstown, 13 miles west of Johnstown and Saratoga. We are also only 2 miles from the historic Saltsmans Hotel Historic Saltsmans Hotel a great place to go for dinner while visiting the area.

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, just as Elisabeth did. 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, a bed in breakfast in St. Johnsville, NY is now only 60 acres, is located in the heart of “farm first country”, shared with Amish neighbors.
