Farm to Families

The Farm to Families Program provides fresh food and a farm experience to low-income families in Ulster County. In partnership with local agencies, Phillies Bridge Farm Project distributes CSA (community supported agriculture) shares to low-income families, and also hosts a farm visit and cooking demonstrations for participants of the program. For some, this is the first time they have visited a farm, picked fresh vegetables, or seen the delight in their children's faces as they taste a fresh vegetable just harvested from the fields.

Farm to Families provides:

  • Free shares of fresh, organic produce
  • Visits to Phillies Bridge Farm
  • Harvesting produce
  • Cooking demonstrations
  • Nutrition/food education
  • Recipes for seasonal produce
  • Container gardening
  • Farm-related children's activities
  • Off-site workshops
  • Travel arrangements

Farm to Families has established partnerships with local agencies which provide parenting and nutrition education for families with young children. Some of our partners include:

  • Cornell Cooperative Extension: Eat Smart New York and Food Stamp Nutrition Education programs
  • Mid-Hudson Family Health Institute Healthy Start Program
  • Hudson River Community Health

Your membership dollars support our Farm to Families program.
