On Saturday, October 14, 2023, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project (PFP) will be celebrating the connection of food, farm and community with our Poughkeepsie Harvest Fest 2024 event! This is a moment in which we celebrate and reflect on all that nourishes us in this work, especially the nutritious produce that we harvest from this special land, and the relationships make the continuity of this work possible. GET YOUR TICKETS AT FARMPROJECT.ORG

This event brings together a diverse group of Hudson Valley chefs and restaurants, artists and entertainers every year. Chefs donate their time to create beautiful soups, made with PFP produce, to be shared with guests at this event. Local ceramicists create hundreds of hand-crafted pottery bowls as well! We are especially grateful to Fall Kill Creative Works’ Clay Works for their support in this aspect of this event year after year. In 2024, we are thrilled to welcome Hudson Valley-based reggae band, The Big Takeover, and singer songwriter callie mackenzie and the one and only DJ Wisdom, to the stage as our headliner entertainment! See you there!!!

As the Hudson Valley gets ready to usher in 2023, we asked local residents what they are thankful for in 2022 in this season of reflection video series.

The Goodie Drop stopped by the Tropical Fresh market to ask people to reflect on the past year and how are they thankful or show their gratitude. We got some amazing responses and can't wait to produce more videos, so keep an eye out for us!
