As more and more small farms are disappearing from the landscape, our 400 year old farm is still in operation today with renewed focus and energy. Our bucolic farm is set on a hilltop overlooking the Hudson Valley and New Croton watershed with views of the majestic Manhattan skyline. As there are only a few organic vegetable farms in the area, we pride ourselves on providing fresh, organic, and healthy vegetables, often coming out of the field just hours before they are sold or donated!
We are always busy here at the farm. Whether we are educating a new crop of farmers, introducing children to where their food comes from, or providing produce to local food pantries or soup kitchens; something is always happening! Hilltop Hanover Farm is not just a farm, it is a place for the community to gather, take educational classes, pick vegetables, or simply a place to connect with nature; there is a place for everyone at Hilltop Hanover Farm.
