THE FARM
Wake
Robin Farm was named after the "wake robin"
flower, a state protected spring wildflower found in
the woods on the 175 acre farm.
Owners
Bruce and Meg Schader established their business in
1999. Meg graduated from Cornell University, where she
studied agricultural science. She learned "practical
farming" from Bruce, who was raised on a conventional
dairy farm and earned a degree in political science
from SUNY Oswego. Bruce started a graduate degree in
education, but was inspired to return to farming after
reading books on sustainable agriculture. Wake Robin
Farm is located less than two miles away from the land
Bruce grew up on.

Currently
milking about ten cows, and growing forty acres of hay
and pasture, The Schaders appreciate working together
and farming as a family. They are proud of their unique,
high quality products, and they enjoy developing relationships
with local consumers and retailers. Bruce is a fourth
generation farmer who hopes that his eight year old
son, Hugh, will find his own way to carry on the family
tradition.
