Our exquisite 1844 barn is located in Washington County, NY Originally part of a massive 1,000 acre property established in 1772, the farm has a rich history.
Situated in the southeast corner of Washington County, Lakota’s Farm spans 19 acres and features peaceful, pastoral vistas, a stream leading into 2 spring-fed ponds, 8 barns, and a historic homestead. According to local historians, Lakota’s Farm was owned and started by James T. Green in the late-18th century. James and his brother Thomas came from Ireland about the year 1772, and established thei
r homestead located two miles north of Cambridge, now the Town of Jackson . The pioneer dwelling was more than likely of the log type—the present Greek Revival house followed some time around 1789. The property just to the west of our house at the corner of routes 62 and 372 includes a section that is part of an old log house from our homestead. The Green farm was so large it partially laid into Cambridge encompassing over 1,000 acres of land. Thomas Green had 6 sons, the latest recorded entry from a 19th century reference: “the latter son is still living, at the age of 92 years, on his father’s homestead.”

Cheers to New Beginnings! 🥂🎊
In 2007 Kimberly was living in Newport RI and Alan was a residential builder living in Upstate NY. Long story made short, Kimberly and Alan fell in-love after hiring Alan’s building company Talat Design, to refurbish her 3,200 sq. ft home. She vowed I would never move back to NY, but love will make you do crazy things! Ultimately, Kimberly returned to Upstate NY to be with Alan, and now Kimberly cannot imagine living anywhere else.
In 2011 Kimberly and Alan acquired Saratoga Horse & Carriage Co. Two years after they bought Saratoga Horse and Carriage, a bride and groom requested their services at a historic wedding barn in the Hudson Region. As Kimberly steered the horse-drawn carriage onto the property, she drove straight through the gates of serendipity. Their dream shifted into focus and the couple realized their next step, harnessing their passion for working with horses and brides culminating with the opening the Lakota’s Farm Weddings & Events.
Prior to opening, Kimberly and Alan spent five years honing their plan, touring hundreds of farms surrounding Saratoga, from the Catskills to the Adirondacks, searching for the perfect place to house their menagerie of dreams. Their reward for tirelessly searching? Discovering one of the oldest farms in Washington County. Originally part of a massive thousand-acre property built in 1772 and rich in history, it had fallen into a sad state of disrepair with walls collapsing and floors buckling. It was unkempt, filthy, dilapidated- but Kimberly had a vision! "I pulled in and the place was already finished in my mind."
The farm was perfect and just a short drive to Saratoga - they were sold!
Today, the Lakota's Farm is a testament to Kimberly's experience and intention and Alan's Master Carpentry skills, traveling the Northeast hunting for unique pieces to add to the puzzle that existed as a finished whole in Kimberly's mind. Some of the puzzle pieces she located included the collection of Italian, forged iron stools, and the oversize mahogany bar now located in the cocktail lounge. The bar was once a twenty-year-old, cracked slab floating up the Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. The story of the 75-year old, six-foot-tall, and six-foot-wide crystal chandelier now hanging in the ballroom barn is even more amazing. "Incredibly, this very same chandelier came from a banquet facility my family frequented when I was a child. I even have a picture of me standing underneath it as a child! It was up for sale at an estate auction and I thought to myself, who puts a chandelier in a 150-year-old barn? I do! In fact, bidding for the chandelier was very competitive and I wasn't sure I'd win the bid... but I did!"
Just about every element has its own story, each weaved together in Kimberly's imagination and materialized in the Wedding Barn as it stands today. The logo and a beautifully handcrafted sign that hangs behind the bar was both a creation of local wood artist Ryan Warner. "It was everything we were dreaming of." The vintage mismatched china and glasses are one of Kimberly's most prized collections and the search for more treasure is never-ending. "Everywhere we go I ask, 'Honey, can we stop here for old China'?"
The Naming of Lakota’s Farm
Kimberly and Alan's first horses, the horses they named Lakota and Othello, were rescued from a farm where they had been both abused and neglected. Lakota came with many issues. He was blind in one eye and for the first two years he had continuous hoof and shoulder issues - even more disturbing, he was broken in spirit. Lakota did not trust people, especially men, and would do all that he could to avoid being touched.
Over the course of two years, Kimberly and Alan were slowly able to gain both Lakota and Othello’s trust. Earning this trust took patience and courage on the part of the horses and their caregivers. Above all, it took forgiveness. Lakota now accepts affection. He forgave mankind for the cruelties done to him and opened his heart up to accept the love they had to offer. The magnitude of that effort and gesture was not lost on Kimberly and Alan.
"In naming our farm, ‘Lakota’s Farm’, we honor his spirit and remind ourselves daily of rewards that can come from opening your heart."
Our exquisite 1844 barn is located in Washington County, NY Originally part of a massive 1,000 acre property established in 1772, the farm has a rich history.
