Hearty Roots Community Farm "CSA Farm" | 845-943-8699 | ||||||||||||||||||
Hearty Roots Community Farm, a CSA Farm offering a few fruits and many vegetables, uses the practice of regenerative farming. Hearty Roots is located at 223 Pitcher Lane, Red Hook, NY 12571, Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley. From Hearty Roots: "We are a Community Farm, providing fresh food and a better environment for our neighbors in the Hudson Valley and New York City. Through our CSA, we offer delicious, top-quality vegetables and eggs. Using sustainable farming practices, we aim to improve our soil and ecosystem. In return, our community supports the farm, by becoming members of our CSA."
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Hearty Roots is a family farm using sustainable practices to grow the freshest, healthiest, tastiest food for our community. The farm is run by Ben and Lindsey Shute along with a great crew of ambitious and hard-working young farmers. Based on 70 acres in Clermont, NY, the farm currently grows about 25 acres of vegetables per year, cares for a flock of laying hens, and manages another 25 acres of pasture and fallow fields.
Our farming practices
We base our growing practices around organic standards, using only natural sources of fertilizer and organically approved products for pest control. We do not seek certified organic status from the USDA due to the cost of the program; our CSA members have a direct connection to the farm, and many of them visit the farm every week. That is more meaningful certification than a bureaucratic program could ever achieve.

It is almost impossible to find pastured, non-GMO eggs in a supermarket, and we are proud to be providing you with exceptional eggs and our chickens with happy lives. Our hens are raised outdoors, running around on our pastures. There they can peck at seeds in the ground, munch on grasses and clover, and eat the natural, non-GMO grain that we provide. They sleep and lay their eggs in the mobile hen houses that we move every week or two, ensuring that they can access fresh ground. In the winter, the hens are sheltered in a big greenhouse, to provide them with an area to roam that is out of the wind and snow; but they still have access to the outdoors all day. When there is deep snow on the ground, the egg yolks get a bit yellower as the hens are eating less green grass outdoors; our chickens eat with the seasons, just like our CSA members.
