Our mission is to secure living wages for
our farmers and their families. By ensuring
a fair price for our farmers’ goods, we keep
those farmers in business, which means
preventing the loss of their land to
development. Our Hudson Valley Fresh farms
are currently preserving 5,000 acres of open
land.
Our farms are within 20 miles of each other.
We process our milk at Boice Brothers Dairy
in Kingston, New York, a family run business
since 1914. When you buy Hudson Valley Fresh
products, you are buying locally-produced
food that puts money back into our
community, rather than supporting the food
industries of China, New Zealand or other
far off places.

know?
•
We are an
economic engine - each milking cow
generates $15,000 per year to the
local community. HVF represents 1000
milking cows. That translates into
15 million dollars for the economic
engine of the community.
•
We feed the
local economy - The economic
multiplier factor ranges from 1 1/2
to 4 times. This means the $32
million estimated farm product sales
per year from Dutchess County farms
puts any where from $50 to $120
million back into the local economy.
