Gladstone Farms

Nestled in the beautiful Gladstone Hollow Valley of Andes, Gladstone Farms is currently being operated by the 5th and 6th generations of Gladstones, Wayland & Suzanne Gladstone, and Jason & Chelsea Guy, while the 7th generation, Carly, Gavin and Jaylee Guy, grows alongside the 180 head beef herd. This 400-acre former dairy farm now thrives as a farm-to-table destination, adding a retail pumpkin patch and sunflower field to the farm’s freezer trade business. Visitors to the farm can enjoy the breathtaking views, with the gorgeous Galloway and British White Park cattle dotting the landscape and subtly reminding guests of the family’s Scottish heritage.

Looking to enhance farm safety and ease handling of the cattle, the Gladstone family partnered a Delaware County Farm Enhancement grant with a NYCAMH John May Safety Fund grant to install headlocks and J-bunks in the covered feeding areas for the cattle. Installation allows for safe handling of cattle for routine herd health work, cattle sorting and by preventing calves from escaping through the feeding area and getting into the road. The J-bunks also eliminate feed waste by keeping the feed in-front of the animals and undercover.
