Who We Are
Bard Farm aims to create an inclusive environment that connects students to our local foodshed, food culture, and the understanding that farming, and eating what we grow, is an agricultural, ecological, and social act, inextricably rooted within the land, our history, and our community. We are a small part of a long and rich agrarian history in the Hudson Valley that predates European contact and continues to help define the region and local food culture today. It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge the Muhheaconneok people, known today as the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation, whose sacred homelands we farm.
