About the farm
We are ready to begin our winter share season! For the months of November, December, and January - we will be offering for purchase one share box of vegetables and fruit each month. Delivery will be the first week of each month. Typical items in your share will be winter squash, potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, carrots, beets and apples. We will source from our own farm and from local farms.
The Regional Food Bank, in partnership with the Patroon Land Foundation, manages a sustainable farm that grows large quantities of high-quality vegetables. The Farm supplies the Food Bank and 1,000 participating agencies in 23 counties with diverse, fresh produce. Currently, we have grown over one million pounds of fresh produce to feed the hungry. Although the majority of the Farm’s production is allocated to the Food Bank, we generate revenue to cover farm expense through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program and Farm stand. The CSA program sells vegetable shares to the community and by purchasing a share, you become one of our partners, enjoying farm fresh vegetables and feeding the hungry.
Your access to fresh local farm products has never been greater or more convenient! The Harvie platform provides the technology required to bring the farm to the click of your digital device!
Simple fresh convenience!
