Hudson Valley Farm Hub is a nonprofit center dedicated to promoting resilient agriculture and community-based food systems in the Hudson Valley region of New York. Situated on a 1,500-acre former research farm, it operates as an education and demonstration farm, focusing on sustainable practices, organic transition, and regional food sovereignty. The Farm Hub supports a diverse range of activities, including hands-on farmer training programs, applied research, and seed preservation initiatives aimed at protecting culturally significant and regionally adapted crops.

One of its signature programs is the ProFarmer program, which offers multi-year immersive training for aspiring farmers, preparing them to manage their own sustainable operations. The Farm Hub is also a leader in promoting equity and inclusion in agriculture, maintaining strong partnerships with local organizations to support food access and land justice.

With a commitment to environmental stewardship, the Farm Hub uses regenerative farming practices and serves as a valuable resource for both new and experienced farmers in the region.
