Born out of a desire to contribute to fixing a broken food system and eat healthier, Sean and Cheyenne have been building Root 'N Roost Farm since November of 2010 from the original 1 acre parcel Sean grew up on in the Southern Catskill Mountain regions of New York State - White Sulphur Springs, NY to be exact! Sean had just moved back home to help his mother with health ailments and Cheyenne came back to Sullivan County to intern at Apple Pond Farm. They met by chance, immediately hit if off, and started getting to work on the land and in life. Chey's internship was 6 days a week, so Sean worked alone most days and Chey helped when she could. A year later, Chey moved in and the farm exploded in size from a 1/4 garden to a 2.5 acre permaculture farm with bees, fowl, pigs, gardens, fruit and nut trees, berry plantings, and a variety of re-use and natural buildings. They started an internship program in 2012 and had 16 people come and go throughout the year and have since hosted almost 100 interns and volunteers from all over the world, educating, growing, learning, creating community, and building their dreams on the soil under there feet. In 2013, they expanded onto neighboring, leasing from their neighbor, and continue to grow the farm each day. In 2014 an 11 kilowatt Solar Photovoltaic Array was installed and now powers the entire farm and sends energy into the grid for others to benefit from. In early 2015 a Solar Hot Water system was installed, providing domestic hot water powered by the sun! Soon after, an article about them made it in the Washington Post, along with other notable new articles, interviews, and radio programs about the dynamic duo. So many more exciting projects are in the works - including a self-watering 72' long greenhouse that is already in production, an off-grid bathroom for general farm use, new water storage and regenerative use, and much more! To learn more, join us for a tour of our farm. You will not be disappointed - guaranteed!

We look forward to meeting you!
