Summer is almost here!

It’s that time of year! Strawberries are ripening and fresh goods from the garden are close at hand.  Haven’t gotten your strawberry fix yet? Visit one of our members to indulge your taste buds! 

It’s also the time to get your veggie garden moving along, if you haven’t done so already. There are many seedlings still available for you to take under your wing.  It’s not too late to start beans, kale, corn, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, squash, or melons from seed.  Leafy greens and carrots can still be started from seed as well and can be planted every other week for continued harvest throughout the summer.  Need more information on your vegetables? Visit Cornell’s Vegetable Resource page.

Spring sprouting your appetite?

With warm weather finally arriving we want to remind you that there are many Farm to Table restaurants throughout the Hudson Valley who are committed to providing fresh local produce on their menu for your enjoyment. By supporting these restaurants you are also supporting your local farms and our agricultural communities. Farm markets are also opening back up throughout the area and many CSA’s are still accepting memberships. If you are looking for any of the above our search feature located on the left of the page can help you locate businesses in your area.

Spring has sprung!

With warm weather upon us, now is the time to sign up for a CSA share.

Community Supported Agriculture is an alternative, locally-based way to purchase fresh local food. CSA members join and pay the farm at the beginning of the season and receive a weekly share of fresh produce throughout the harvest months.  Becoming a member of a CSA is a great way to eat clean, fresh, local food on a budget and to support local agriculture at the same time.

To locate a CSA in your county, we’ve compiled a list of Hudson Valley Bounty members offering CSA shares for each area: Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam,  Sullivan, Ulster, Westchester.
