Gilded Farms

Gilded Farms is a two acre Certified Naturally Grown diversified vegetable farm located in the beautiful black dirt region of Chester, NY, that produces a wide variety of crops including mixed vegetables, melons, and honey.

Black dirt, or muck, refers to the vegetative glacial lake that was drained in the 1800s by immigrants, to create the extremely fertile farmland that the farm sits on today. In the 1960s, the farmland was widely used for conventional mass-produced crops, and in the early-2000s, there was a movement in the area to turn over the land to small-scale organic and natural farmers.

As well as revitalizing the agricultural history of this area, Gilded Farms’ goals are to change how humans think about the food we eat, and how we take care of the environment we live in.

Through markets, partnerships, and collaborations, Gilded Farms plays a community role in simplifying nutritional eating and natural living, while keeping up with modern lifestyle trends, such as convenience and simplicity.

Gilded Farms directly supports the community of organic farmers as well, by sourcing a variety of products from local farms for their market stands, to provide a well-balanced seasonal selection for customers to choose from. Their mission is to provide local communities in the Hudson Valley with organically grown produce harvested fresh from the fields brought to you and your kitchen table.
