A FARM LIKE NO OTHER.
​
​
Heermance Farm is a historical farm operating since 1730 in the Hudson River Valley, upstate New York, just minutes from Rhinebeck.
​
​
​
​
Heermance Farm sits at the intersection of agriculture, art, culture, and community. It works behind the scenes growing an extraordinary variety of the highest quality specialty vegetables, custom blend-fed eggs, and Steelhead trout to rave reviews and an array of pasteurized proteins like Turkeys, rabbits, hogs, and lambs for NYC's top chefs - all while prioritizing sustainable farming practices. In addition, Heermance Farm publishes its own biannual Art/Gastronomy magazine as a unique platform to introduce its products to chefs, restaurants, and friends throughout the world, as well as hosts a variety of cultural events onsite, serving its community beyond its intended traditional functions.

Farmer's winter Notes
​
Winter vegetable growing at Heermance Farm is confined to our heated greenhouses; these greenhouses are the engine driving Heermance Farm vegetable and greens production through 2 main strategies:
Heermance Farm raised organic soil beds for growing delicious root crops such as; Beets, carrots, Japanese turnips, or larger leaf crops like Cauliflower, fennel, and broccoli.
And we also have our hydroponic Greenhouse at Five-Star farm, which produces sessions of fast-growing lettuce heads, broccoli, Bok Choi, cabbages, parsley, and herbs.
​
These two sets of greenhouse growing strategies are Heermance Farm‘s best friends and growing facilities.
