Plan your visit.

We are open 365 days a year. Whether you want to sit by our creek, bring a apples or carrots for our donkey and goats, or hike our grounds, you are welcome at anytime.

Directions:

We have two locations!

  • The barn is where you’ll find Big Joe, the goats, the creek, and the frog pond & more.

  • The trails are where you’ll find the fields, the trails through the woods, and, if you’re lucky, some pirate treasure.

To get to the barn:

Approaching from the east, go nearly to the end of Amber Road (Route 44) and look for a sign on your right with Big Joe’s silhouette and an arrow pointing down the driveway.

If you approach from Otisco Valley Road, our driveway is on the left just past the Otisco Lake Community Center (2223 Amber Road in Marietta, NY 13110). If you go to “Amberations” in Google maps, it should take you right there. Feel free to park back by the barn or in the Community Center parking lot if it is available.

The fields and most trails are located up a long driveway. Click the link for the location or navigate to 2333 Amber Road which is just to the left of the driveway. Follow the driveway all the way to the top, staying to the left. You’ll know you’re there when you see the information kiosk and the fields.
