Hull-O Farms

By , About.com Guide

Background about Hull-O Family Farms:

Hull-O Family Farms is located in the Catskills area of NY State, 2-1/2 hours from NYC, 1 hour from Albany.

The Hull dairy farm has been in the Hull family for 7 generations, since 1779. Picture cattlemen staying here before driving their herds West over the Susquehanna Trail.

The farm is a working dairy farm; but the paying guests keep the place in business. Once, there were many working family farms surrounding the Hull farm; now, it's the last.
