Grafton possesses the most uneven surface of any town in the county. It is located within the limits of the Rensselaer Plateau and the principal peaks in the town reach an altitude of 1800 feet above the level of the sea. A small portion of the land is cultivable, but the hillsides afford excellent grazing. nevertheless many of the inhabitants of Grafton have farms which, by years of constant care and cultivation, have been rendered almost as productive as any within the county.[11]
Ponds and small streams are very abundant. Cranberry lake, in the southern part, is the source of the Quacken Kill, which flows by a devious to the western limits of the town, affording numerous excellent mill sites. in the northern part of the town are several creeks flowing towards the Hoosick Valley. The ponds of Grafton are noted for the purity and high quality of their water

​We chose the name Greywacke Meadows because,
the Town of Grafton, NY is built on a ridge of greywacke rock, the stonewalls surrounding our barn and the large boulders throughout our meadow are greywacke rock (and a perfect place for photos)
It seemed like a perfect tribute to those silent sentinels that have always been.. and will always be...
a part of our history in the town of Grafton, NY
