The Hudson Valley Farm Hub is a nonprofit agricultural center dedicated to resiliency in the regional food system.
Since the Farm Hub’s founding, we have converted the approximately 1600-acre farm operation to a multi-year rotation of organically grown grains, cover crops, and vegetables with an intensive focus on soil health. Along with machine-scale crop production and improved on-farm infrastructure, we have developed a suite of programs and practices to align with our mission of fostering a resilient food system – one that meets the economic and social needs of our communities while working in partnership with natural systems.
To this end, we host and support research, provide farmer training, demonstrate on-farm practices, and support food distribution channels that prioritize people and planet. The land, previously Gill Farms, was purchased in 2013 with funding from NoVo Foundation as part of a broader commitment to sustainable agriculture, natural resource conservation, and thriving local communities. Now a subsidiary of NoVo, the Farm Hub collaborates with an ever-growing number of partners working in food and agriculture across the region, in nearby Kingston, and in our neighboring communities.
