The Community in Oak Hill

Oak Hill Plantation 8137 Route 81 Oak Hill, NY 12460 U.S.A. 518-239-8148

Oak Hill Plantation is a 100-acre farm that forms the nucleus of the community in Oak Hill. In the fall of 1997 a couple of families moved here with the vision of raising children in a normal, healthy environment. We wanted our children to be able to work hard and be connected to the land like human beings were intended to from the beginning. An organic garden and a small collection of cows, goats, and chickens provide the catalyst for teaching our children respect for every living thing our Creator made.

We have grown quickly, now numbering more than 80, inhabiting three houses on the farm property and spilling over into others in the village. We are currently building a new house on the farm, as well as erecting a large workshop where we can work near our families and make the components for post-and-beam houses. In the near future we plan to build a lodge for year-round festivals and celebrations, all part of the rich life we receive when we forsake our self-centered existence to live for others like our master, Yahshua, did.
