Orchard Hill O

Orchard Hill O is a diversified market farm in the heart of Westchester County, NY, on the border of Katonah and Somers. We are focused on providing in-demand fresh market products at farmers markets and to the local communities. We take great pride in the quality and flavor of what we grow.
Although we began as an ambitious home garden, we quickly out produced and outpaced our early goals. In 2018 we made the commitment to go public and began selling our products at area Farmers Markets and to local restaurants.
We specialize in greens, both fresh salad greens and a wide variety of Asian cooking greens, annual vegetable crops, berries, and more.
Of note here is our established berry plantings, including black raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, and mature 'exotic' fruit tree stands of paw paws and persimmons.
Although we are not certified organic in any way, we are devoted and committed to using all organically approved methods and sustainable practices, and always have.
Our mission is to maximize the nutritional content of our products and improve the land we’re on. We rely on soil mineralization, composting, compost teas, biological controls, cover cropping, all with the same goal of improving the soil health for both disease management and pest control. Our mission is also to build a resilient farm ecosystem and community from the soil up.
We pack a lot of punch in a small package. We grow year round and currently have over 10,000 sq. ft. of passive high tunnels. At this press time a 3,000 square foot geothermal greenhouse is in the process of being built. These on-farm facilities will all advance our present goals of meeting the demands of an expanding market.
Our facilities and methods also make us uniquely competitive for a farm of our size. We are able to grow on the extreme ends of the local season when most other farms don’t or can’t realize that potential.
Recently we have pivoted away from restaurant sales in response to the pandemic, and refocused on farmers markets, direct consumer sales via online ordering, and in the Fall of 2020, launched the pilot program of our Premium Select Delivery Box or PSDB.
In all that we do we believe in the shortest route from our field to our customers tables.
