Our Story
Poughkeepsie Farm Project began in 1999 as a small community farm with a commitment to education and food justice. The first season, 15 CSA shareholders enjoyed produce from 3 acres of reawakened farmland leased from Vassar College.
Now we have expanded to 12 acres and over 500 households take part in our CSA. We are leaders in cutting edge practices in today's sustainable agriculture. We harvest over 180,000 pounds of produce per year and donate over 30,000 pounds of it to those in need in our community. In addition to our food cultivation, we train and educate the community on healthy growing and eating practices year round.
