Triple Green Jade Farm in the Adirondack’s Champlain Valley
In 2014, Dan and Kimmy Rivera acquired a long-dormant 80-acre farm nestled in the rolling hills just outside Willsboro on the northeastern edge of the Adirondacks.
They’ve been working hard to return the farm to its former glory, establishing grass-based micro-dairy and pastured poultry operations. They are also skilled bread artisans and make some of the best baked goods around.

Where in the ADK? Find This Monument to Great Deeds
This week's "Where in the ADK" can be found in a small town approximately 20 miles west of Plattsburgh.
