Come with us on a tour of Sky High Farm, where all of the 40-acre farm’s organic fruits and vegetables, as well as eggs and the meat from grass-fed livestock, go to food banks and food pantries throughout New York City and state.
In Pine Plains, New York, the L-shaped barn at Sky High Farm has two attached volumes serving as a livestock barn and a harvest processing facility.
A poured-concrete shelter on the property is topped with cladding and framing that mimics the main barn.
The shelter was built as a compost shed and to store propane tanks and generators, but has since become a popular spot with the animals.
The structure is still used for its intended purposes, but the animals "like to hang out there when they’re outdoors.”
The hallway of the grain processing facility, where hats and boots are stored.
The hallway leads to the office, feed room, and cold storage.
Livestock accoutrements hang on a painted peg rail.
A mudroom with bathroom, laundry, and storage links the two wings of the barn.
The livestock wing has a concrete floor and is framed in heavy fir timber from Williams Lumber upstate.
