Forts Ferry Farm

Located between the upper Hudson Valley and the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers, this farm has grown over the past decade to offer year-round produce. Known for its bustling marketplace and presence at the Troy Farmers Market, it has become a staple in the community. The farm also engages in significant community outreach, working with local schools and non-profits to donate produce and prepared foods.

The farm grows its produce without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides, emphasizing the importance of biodiversity. They utilize both indoor growing with supplemental light and outdoor growing with unheated high tunnels and heated greenhouses to maintain year-round production. An on-site apiary not only produces raw honey but also plays a crucial role in crop pollination and biodiversity enhancement.

Visitors can enjoy open-air seating and special events that offer refreshing views of the farm fields. The commercial kitchen on the farm transforms premium produce into chef-made meals and pantry staples. The farm's products are produced in limited quantities each season, ensuring freshness and quality.
