Our Programs

For over 25 years, Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming has been a leader in building a resilient and equitable food system in New York’s Hudson Valley. Through four interconnected strategies, we strengthen our region’s food system while serving as a national model for transformative, regionally-based solutions.

Core Strategies

Our strategic approaches are not standalone efforts, but a dynamic, interwoven framework that collectively advances our vision of a resilient and equitable regional food system. By incorporating all four strategies into every one of our programs, we create comprehensive solutions that amplify our impact across the agricultural landscape.

Training and Supporting the Next Generation of Farmers

Glynwood provides farmers with direct resources to ensure long-term success. We train new farmers and provide many educational opportunities on regenerative agriculture in relation to a regional food system.
Increasing Food Access and Equity

We work with farmers and community partners to make regional food more accessible to everyone in our communities and set an example for food access programs nationwide.
Cultivating Climate Resilient Solutions

We demonstrate agricultural practices that cultivate healthy soils, crops, pasture and livestock to produce nutritious food; minimize our need for inputs and our production of waste; and help us mitigate the effects of and our contribution to the climate crisis.
Fostering Markets and Movements to Improve Regional Resilience

Glynwood creates and fosters professional communities who, together, are building markets and movements. The goals of this work is to increase the market viability of farming in the Hudson Valley, establish a food culture that is closely tied to agriculture, increase biocultural diversity, and advance social justice in the regional food system.
