Project Greens is our flagship charitable food program started in early 2020 as a response to the pandemic. Now it has grown into a vital service for the sustainability of our community.

From supply chain disruptions, to widespread unemployment and economic instability, our community was in need… and we responded by creating “Project Greens” to provide healthy greens to our local food pantries and community centers.

We had the opportunity to reshape our local food distribution network and create direct access to fresh, healthy produce. Cropsey Community Farm did just that! We partnered with local food pantries to distribute thousands of pounds of nutritious greens (ie, lettuce, kale, chard, collards, etc.) to underserved families facing food insecurity in Rockland County. 

In 2020, growing only in the high tunnel, we were able to provide 300-400 heads of greens per week to The Martin Luther King Jr Multipurpose Center in Spring Valley. In 2022 we expanded out into the fields and donated 25% of our harvest to local food pantries. But we also expanded our giving programs to our education projects by donating numerous weeks of summer camp to kids who would otherwise have been unable to join.

Project Greens had become an integral part of our mission. When you support our farm, you also support giving to families on the margins.
