"We have forged a special relationship with members of the community and with those who support our farm and our farming practices. Membership in our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means receiving a share of the weekly garden harvest of Hawthorne Valley Farm. It also means coming to know and understand the life of this particular farm and supporting the farmers in their efforts to grow healthy, nutritious food in a way that is environmentally responsible."

The rewards of CSA membership are great. Learning to eat seasonally, cooking and preserving new and interesting vegetables, celebrating the growing season through special membership events on the farm, and most of all, coming to feel a sense of connection with your local farmer.

The farm store carries a full line of organic fruit and vegetables year-round; and during the growing season, we have produce from the farm, as well as other local growers. Hawthorne Valley Farm itself produces organic (biodynamic) vegetables, which are sold in the store and at the Union Square and Inwood green markets.

The farm has 30 acres of vegetables within a 60-acre rotation, as well as 75 acres of pasture for our cows. The greenhouse provides room to grow the farm's transplants and bedding plants for sale. Produce is marketed through CSA, local farmers' markets, and wholesale accounts.

CSA members join in the winter and pick up their share of vegetables weekly during the season. Through this type of purchasing consumers and farmers share the risk of a difficult season as well as the bounty of a good year. Because of their diversity, CSA farms rarely have "bad years". In a rainy season, the greens are happy; a hot and dry year grows great tomatoes. The Farm at Miller's Crossing offers regular family sized shares as well as single shares for smaller households.

What is Demeter® USA?
Demeter® USA is a certifier of Biodynamic® farms and products. Biodynamic agriculture goes beyond organic, envisioning the farm as a self-contained and self-sustaining organism. In an effort to keep the farm, the farmer, the consumer, and the earth healthy, farmers avoid chemical pesticides and fertilizers, utilize compost and cover crops, and set aside a minimum of 10% of their total acreage for biodiversity. The entire farm, versus a particular crop, must be certified, and farms are inspected annually. In order for a product to bear the Demeter logo it must be made with certified Biodynamic® ingredients and meet strict processing standards to ensure the purest possible product.

Green Acres' roadside market is open from July thru November, and only sells local produce from their farm and neighboring farms in Columbia County. Enjoy their heirloom tomatoes, fall squashes, fruits and vegetables including late fall raspberries. Do not miss their farm bakery offering, homemade on the farm products including, homemade breads, pies, cookies, muffins and more.

"Roxbury Farm is a community supported farm. We grow vegetables, herbs, and grass fed pork, lamb, and beef for over 1000 shareholders representing over 1200 families in four communities--Columbia County, the Capital Region, Westchester County and Manhattan - on 300 acres in Kinderhook, New York.

"Our farmland has been taken off the market, permanently. It can never be bought or sold again. It can only be leased, and only by a farmer who commits to farming it. The lease is lifelong and inheritable, and the fee is based on the agricultural value of the land, not the market value. Affordable housing for the farmer and farm employees is also protected in perpetuity. Even in the rapidly rising country home market two and a half hours from New York City, this land and housing will always be available and affordable to a farmer.

"Roxbury Farm is a biodynamic farm. A biodynamic farmer allows a great diversity of living organism on his or her farm to thrive as those systems have proven to be most efficient in harboring life and storing energy. Every aspect of the farm makes its own unique contribution to the whole. When a farm is biodynamic it is transformed from a factory, producing food and generating profit, to a being that has its own characteristics with associated strengths and weaknesses that are honored."
