Poughkeepsie Farm Project

Poughkeepsie Farm Project began in 1999 on land leased from Vassar College, and has grown to a 12-acre farm where over 500 households receive weekly CSA shares. We harvest more than 180,000 pounds of produce per year and donate over 30,000 pounds of it to food-insecure neighbors. Our CSA runs 23 weeks from June through November, with full and half shares plus add-on options including fruit, berry, egg, cheese, and yogurt shares. Shareholders also enjoy pick-your-own berries, flowers, and herbs during the main season. In addition to our CSA, we sell wholesale produce and operate food-share programs that accept SNAP benefits and offer sponsored shares at deep discounts. We also train future farmers through an on-farm apprenticeship program and provide year-round education on healthy growing and eating. Learn more on their About Page.
