About
Community-Supported AgricultureThe Poughkeepsie Farm Project operates a produce farm for the purpose of demonstrating, teaching, and promoting sustainable production and distribution medthods, preserving community farmland, and improving access to locally-grown and healthy food, with a special focus on those with limited access. This program provides vocational training to 5-7 young adults each year who aspire to farm following the principles of sustainable agriculture. This program is the basis for thousands of community members, hundreds of local youth, and dozens of college students to access fresh food, directly experience farming, learn about its connects to the environment, and learn and practice farming skills.Food ShareFood Share/Food Justice improves access to fresh, nutritious food through food donations and subsidized food shares.
