Hudson Valley Farms

It’s that time of year again! Hudson Valley farms are starting to offer the first fruits and vegetables of spring and farm stands and farmers’ markets are opening up for the 2021 season. Today we’re highlighting farms rather than farmers’ markets. For a list of farmers’ markets in the Hudson Valley check out this previous post where we shared several of our favorites in the region.  Here are some of our favorite local farmers in the Hudson Valley.

This family farm also strives to help new beekeeper’s on their journey into apiculture. Offerings include honey, handmade soap and organic produce. Order ahead for weekly pickup or free delivery within 20 minutes of Kerhonkson. You can also find their products at many local farm stands and markets throughout the Hudson Valley. Damn Good Honey Farm is currently working on building a market featuring their produce, honey, soap, and other hive products, as well as other organically and sustainably grown and created products from a carefully curated selection of local growers, makers, and crafters.
