Our Vision: A resilient community where everyone is nourished, connected, and empowered by the land.
PFP does some amazing work, but we can't do it without you. The success of our programs, harvest, and educational outreach depend on the shared resources of the community.
Fresh, healthy food should be a right, not a privilege. Your donation to Poughkeepsie Farm Project helps put nourishing, local produce on family tables, provides hands-on education for youth, and trains the next generation of farmers. Every dollar fuels a healthier, more just, and more resilient community. Join us in growing a stronger Hudson Valley - one donation at a time.

Poughkeepsie Farm Project grows over 150,000 pounds of fresh produce each year for the local community. We believe access to wholesome food is important. Through our food share program, we donate over 30% of what we grow to emergency food providers and low-income households in our community (with a lofty goal of 50% by 2030). We cannot do this work without your generosity.
