Welcome to Saltarelli Farms

Our mission is to combine traditional farming values with modern innovation to build a sustainable, self-reliant model for agriculture. With experience in land planning, off-grid systems, and hands-on infrastructure, we’ve designed and built everything on our farm—from solar power and rainwater catchment to mushroom cultivation and high-efficiency growing spaces. Rooted in stewardship and long-term vision, we believe that with the right tools and mindset, anyone can build a thriving future from the land they love.

About the Farm

Saltarelli Farms is located in the mountains of upstate New York on a rugged yet vibrant landscape of forest, fields, and custom-built systems. We’ve designed every aspect of our farm from the ground up—using off-grid solar power, rainwater catchment, and agroforestry principles to support our mission of sustainable living and education. Our farm is home to log-grown mushrooms, high-tunnel gardens, and innovative infrastructure built to adapt and thrive in all seasons.
