About NNYFP

We are a group committed to small, diverse and sustainable farms, striving to create a climate that fosters and values people, the land and economic autonomy --- working together with all members of our community through cooperation and with concern for future generations. We live the example through collaborative efforts in the production, processing, marketing and distribution of safe food.
