Who we are

We here at Steinhaus Farm — Stone House Farm — love to grow, produce, and share simple, clean food. We also like to build with stone.

We (Henry and Grit) found each other in the Finger Lakes and started a small family and farm. Our house and sugar shack are built by hand out of field stone.
