Stoke Farms

What Stoke Farms does

Stokoe Farms is a privately held, family-owned agritourism enterprise operating from a 3,500-acre property in Scottsville, New York (Wheatland), with land spanning the towns of Wheatland, Caledonia, Avon, and Rush. The business has been continuously operated by the Stokoe family for over 213 years, currently involving the 5th, 6th, and 7th generations, with Suzanne Stokoe (6th Generation) as the current owner. The farm transitioned to 100% solar power in 2014, with 76 solar panels supporting operations, and is built on a Shopify e-commerce platform with TicketSpice handling ticketing — a modest technology stack oriented around consumer transactions and event admission rather than enterprise software.

The company generates revenue through a diversified portfolio of seasonal and year-round experiences anchored by Harvest Fest (a 26-year-running fall festival with 40+ activities running September 19 through October 25), Dino ROAR (a dinosaur-themed spring adventure), and Christmas Tree Season (November–December cut-your-own and pre-cut tree sales). Secondary revenue streams include the Adventure Pass ($39.99 multi-season bundle that also includes a free Swain Ski Resort lift ticket), birthday party packages ($450 base), school tours ($11–$12 per student), corporate and group outings, the Roo Ranch private animal encounter business (kangaroos, wallabies, exotic animals) including off-site "Joey Grams" launching late summer 2026, and on-site food service and retail (Old Barn Grill, apple cider donuts, country gift shop).

The business serves primarily regional consumers in Western New York and the Rochester metro, with secondary B2B customers including school districts, scout groups, and corporate clients (e.g., Wegmans corporate outings). Pricing is uniformly pay-as-you-go / per-visit, with no disclosed subscription or contract-based revenue, and all monetization occurs either at the physical farm location or via online pre-purchase of tickets. The customer base is highly fragmented across families, schools, and community groups, with no concentrated anchor accounts.
