About the Organization
Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming is dedicated to growing a regional food system in New York’s Hudson Valley while serving as a model for equitable food system revitalization across the country. Our mission is to cultivate just and resilient food systems so that farmers, land, and communities thrive.
Glynwood connects farmers with land, with landowners, and with farming apprenticeships, jobs and training that prepare them to manage diverse small and mid-scale production-oriented farms, with the long-term goal of establishing new farmers in favorable lease or ownership arrangements on regional farmland. Supporting farmers in securing their own land is a critical driver of all of our farmer training programs, as it is a core component of a farmer’s long-term viability.
Regional Navigator Services
Glynwood can help farmers clarify their goals and needs, determine appropriate next steps, understand business planning and financial management, identify and assess land, and navigate lease creation. As regional navigators, we connect farmers with appropriate services, consultants, and educational opportunities. We advise farmland owners in understanding farmer needs and making their land access opportunities more equitable. Both farmers and farmland owners receive support with FNG-NY profile creation.
Reach out to us for support in the following areas:
- Consultation or Mediation
