Patroon Land Farm

The Patroon Land Farm is a farm owned by the Patroon Land Foundation and is dedicated to the production of food for the needy and to provide opportunities for agricultural education. The farm is located on Ketcham Road in the Town of Knox, near Thacher Park in Albany County. It is managed by the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York to produce food for distribution by the Food Bank to over one thousand member agencies serving 23 counties in the region. The long term goal of the farm is to become self supporting, while continuing to supply the Food Bank with substantial quantities of high quality fresh produce. We are in the process of transitioning soils to organic. We currently use conventional chemical fertilizers, as well as materials approved for organic production, but our pesticide use is limited to those materials used by organic growers. (more...)
