Support our Patroon Land Farm
Since 2006, the Patroon Land Farm has produced over 1,100,000 pounds of fresh vegetables for our neighbors in need. The Farm, managed by the Regional Food Bank, is powered by a small but mighty staff and thousands of volunteers. Produce grown at the Farm is brought back to the Food Bank and distributed to our partner agencies and neighbors in need immediately!
About the Farm
The 162-acre farm was constituted to preserve the farmland in 1997 through the Patroon Land Foundation to preserve the property, cultivate the land to grow food to feed the hungry, and educate students and the community as a whole about agriculture. In 2006, the Regional Food Bank assumed the Farm’s management. The Farm is truly an effort of the community at large. Volunteers, private donors, corporations, and other organizations continue to support the Farm through financial and/or in-kind contributions. These contributions have allowed the Farm to develop the necessary infrastructure and purchase equipment to improve our operations and fulfill our mission.
