The Hub on the Hill “works with the farmers and small food businesses of the Adirondack-North Country region to transform the region’s bounty of fresh produce into value-added shelf-stable and frozen products. Our desire to support our local agricultural economy and community, drives our efforts to coordinate the processing of fresh produce into high quality value-added products. Visit our self-serve market open seven days a week!”
The mission of the Adirondack Land Trust is to forever conserve the forests, farmlands, waters and wild places that advance the quality of life of our communities and the ecological integrity of the Adirondacks. We use conservation easements and other conservation tools to help farmers plan for their lands and take steps that can provide operating capital as well as strengthen water quality protections while keeping land in farming.
The mission of the Essex Farm Institute (EFI) is to advocate for, support, and promote resilient, diversified farms that strengthen the health of natural and human communities in the Adirondacks.
Essex County Soil and Water Conservation District was formed in 1965. Soil and Water Conservation Districts are special purpose districts, authorized under NYS law and created to develop and carry out programs of soil, water and related natural resource conservation by providing technical assistance and programs to residents, land owners and units of government.
