We believe in the transformative potential of local agriculture, small businesses, and cooperation to build a durable and prosperous agricultural economy in the Hudson Valley and beyond.

We work together on:

• building collaborative infrastructure

• organizing to shift regional and national farm policy

• increasing access to resources like land, housing, capital, and healthcare

• consolidating and disseminating information

• creating spaces where young farmers from all backgrounds can share, learn, and gather

We are a fiscally-sponsored chapter of the National Young Farmers Coalition. Join the movement at youngfarmers.org.

* “Young” and “beginning” are relative, not narrow or exclusive. These terms help us focus on issues affecting this current generation of farmers. If you think this coalition might benefit from your perspective, please contact us, because it’s almost certainly true.
