Farming status, plans, and practices
Currently operating an organic farm and market in Westchester County. Our CSA includes over 400 members and our main crops and produce include free-range eggs, leafy greens, and tomatoes. Our lease ends in 2021 and we are looking for a new location. We also host annual Farm Fests, farm-to-table dinners, and produce crops year-round in a heated greenhouse to provide enough income to operate year-round. We have two additional greenhouses that are not heated.
