Dedicated Farmers

Our small family farms are located 200 miles due north of New York City. Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Washington counties hug the Hudson River, just south of the Adirondack Mountains. Some of the farms in this region have been in the same family for generations, while others have been established recently.

Meat, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and eggs and are some of the items produced by these families.

Farmers have made a pledge to offer only the freshest and highest quality items to chefs purchasing through this program.

Certified Organic, low or no pesticide use, integrated pest management (IPM), no antibiotics, no growth hormones, pasture-raised, free-range, and grass-fed are some of the practices used by our skilled farmers.
