Designed to bolster soil health, our practices include crop rotation, cover cropping, monitoring soil health, reduced tillage/no-till, collaborative on-farm research, and organic pest management.
Our farm is situated in the Lower Esopus Watershed and borders floodplain forest in the Hurley Flats.
The area has been a rich agricultural center since Native Americans cared for the land. Since pre-colonization the Haudenosaunee Lenape grew corn and beans. We operate with an approach to balance food production with the local ecological needs of flora, fauna and our most precious natural resources–the water and soil. Our practices follow organic-certification standards and we work closely with our Applied Farmscape Ecology Program to identify the ways in which we farm in partnership with nature.
