SUPPORTING THE PFP

There are many ways to get involved in supporting the work of the PFP, including joining as a supporting member, providing a business sponsorship, making a donation, volunteering or scheduling a farm visit.

Connecting Farm, Food and Community

The Poughkeepsie Farm Project exists to ensure that our local community, our region and our nation has secure access to good food now and in the future. Our vision is a just and sustainable food system that serves and nourishes all people while providing healthy food, strengthening communities and stewarding the environment. We work toward this vision by using community-based strategies to produce food, create and support venues for food distribution, and provide hands-on educational experiences about food and farming for children, youth and adults.
