Agriculture and Ecology Research
The Applied Farmscape Research Collaborative includes scientists and researchers who focus on answering the following questions: how can on-farm habitat conservation or creation help support regional biodiversity? And, how can such conservation or creation contribute to farm production? Check out a sample of their presentations and research here.

GrowNYC’s FARMroots provides business technical assistance to aspiring and established Greenmarket farmers. In 2020, we kicked off a 3-year partnership with them to host their La Nueva Siembra Farm Beginnings business planning course. For more information, visit https://www.grownyc.org/farmerassistance
Research and Demonstration
Research and Demonstration partners with academic institutions and educators to conduct in-field research around issues of importance to the farming community. One of the flagship research initiatives is the small grains trials: since 2013, the Farm Hub has partnered with Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County to gather data on a variety of grains and share their findings with area farmers interested in adding grains into their rotations and moving into the local grains market.
In 2016 the trials were posted separately, but in other years they were combined with the other test sites for both winter and spring. For more information go to:
The trials were also spotlighted in a short documentary “Growing with the Grain” produced by filmmaker Jon Bowermaster of Oceans 8 Films.
