Torrwood Farm - Our Story
Torrwood Farm has been family owned and run since 1846, after the Kerr family emigrated from Scotland in 1840. Since then, the farm has been used for a wide variety of business’, from working farm - boarding house - logging site - horse trail camp and then to a successful Natural Artisan Spring Water business, Catskill Mountain Spring Water. That same coveted water now sustainably supplies some of the most pure water that can be found in North America, and is now administered to all Torrwood crops via a state-of-the-art, computerized irrigation system.
Torrwood Farm operates with one goal in mind - to produce premier organic hemp and to offer farm-to-table opportunities with exclusive restaurants locally and in NYC, located 90 minutes away.
While farming is one of the main activities at Torrwood, that operation takes up less than 10% of the property. Torrwood is enrolled and actively participates in the Forestry Program, hand replanting Chestnut trees that were wiped out in the early 1900’s to give the land back its old guard of trees. We also foster a 56 acre patch of forest land. The property is encircled by an original hand blazed trail that enables access to the entire property, from the top of the mountain to wetlands far south of the fields. Beyond this we are consistently upgrading and tending to the land, planting countless varieties of trees, shrubs, and allowing nature to take its course by providing the rest. Torrwood Farm is a NOFA-NY certified organic hemp growing operation which takes pride in its careful selection of hemp genetics, while also planting and maintaining the crop daily by hand. Torrwood Farm incorporates a robust crop rotation in keeping with the latest research from universities to analytical laboratories to keep the soil at its optimum level for sustainable production.
All of the fields are buffered by gorgeous old growth trees, black walnut, special NY friendly redwoods and (literally) miles of old fieldstone walls which our ancestors culled from the cleared forests and resulting fields in the late 1800’s - in 2020 alone, we hand planted 38 new apple trees of all varieties, three-hundred-fifty forsythia which will be stunning come next year, and restocked good portions of the closest stonewalls. Our goal is to share the mountain with our neighbors, be good stewards of the land as was taught to us and bring top-notch products to market.
