Specialties

Located on 65 scenic acres in the Hudson Valley of New York State, Phillies Bridge Farm Project is a not-for-profit working farm with a mission to promote local sustainable agriculture, to provide CSA shareholders with abundant organically grown vegetables and herbs, to share part of the harvest with people in need, and to educate people of all ages about the sources of healthy food and the study of nature. Phillies Bridge Farm includes six acres of vegetable fields, an herb garden, a delightful children's Discovery Garden, 45 acres of woodlands and wetlands, rolling pastures, and views of the Shawangunk Ridge. A Nature Trail extends in a 1 1/2 mile loop from the big barn through woods and wetlands around to a view of the farm and the house from the top of the hill called "Sheep's Nose." Come learn, grow, and share with us! Mission Statement The Phillies Bridge Farm Project demonstrates and promotes local agriculture that is ecologically sound, community oriented, and economically viable. The Farm Project achieves these goals through farm demonstrations, educational programs, apprenticeships, research, dissemination of information, distribution of food to those in need, and the operation of a working farm.

History

Established in 1995.

The current farmhouse was constructed in 1850 on the stone foundation of the original 1745 house. The farmhouse and acreage would change hands several times before James Jr. and Mary Ottaway purchased the land in 1984. During their 12-year stay on the farm, the Ottaways were approached by Mohonk Consultations to create a demonstration farm that would focus on organic techniques and community education. With the vision and initiative of Dan Guenther, Helen Vukasin, Gayil Greene, and the Working Group on Family Farms, the farm was leased for five years from the Ottaways to create the Phillies Bridge Farm Project, which became a not-for-profit organization in 1999. The Ottaways were excited to see the success of the first not-for-profit Community Supported Agriculture farm in this area, farm-based education for schools, and a summer day camp. In 2002 the Ottaways donated the farm to the Phillies Bridge Farm Project.

Meet the Manager: Heather W.

Heather is originally from Western Canada. She came to Phillies Bridge by way of the UK, France, Texas and most recently, New England. She earned a degree in environmental science from McGill University in Montreal, where she befriended Phillies Bridge's 2015 farmer, Anna Elbon! Heather caught the farming bug while working for, and eventually co-managing, the university's student-run farm, MSEG. Thoroughly converted to the agrarian lifestyle, Heather made her way down to Southern New Hampshire to work for the wonderful Jenny and Bruce Wooster at Picadilly Farm. After two seasons of growing 30 acres of vegetables for an almost 1000 member CSA at Picadilly - and learning to milk cows in the evenings at Manning Hill Farm - Heather is eager to scale down a bit and channel her energy into growing a diversity of high quality produce for Phillies Bridge's shareholders. When she is not farming, Heather can be found cooking, on a walk through the woods, daydreaming about draft horses, or tang
