Sunfair Farm began in 2020 as a mixed vegetable and flower farm on 1.5 acres, blending small-scale production farming with the beauty of a kitchen garden. Through our CSA, farmers' markets, farm shop, and events, we helped nurture our community—cooking with our produce for dinners, art openings, and gatherings. We worked hard, had fun, and grew something special.
After a two-year pause, we’re excited and grateful to be relaunching on the same beautiful 70-acre property in Hudson, NY. Home to an arts program with a sculpture garden and gallery, this land has always been a place where creativity and agriculture intersect. We see the farm as an essential part of this environment—growing organic vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers to supply our dinners, events, prepared products, farm shop, CSA, and weekly farmers' markets.
As we begin this new chapter, we’re looking for passionate, hardworking team members to join us. If you love farming, food, and the connection between agriculture and creativity, we’d love to hear from you.
