Our vision is for a prosperous Hudson Valley community consciously investing in resilient agriculture and viable local food systems.
Our mission is to provide innovative solutions that create dynamic agricultural entrepreneurship, support sustainability and climate resiliency and enhance economic growth in the Hudson Valley. Through improving equitable capital access and business technical assistance for agricultural and food entrepreneurs, HVADC is committed to presenting programming and lending programs that are inclusive of low-to-moderate income and underserved communities.

FeedHV
FeedHV
FeedHV is a regional food rescue and harvesting network dedicated to meeting the needs of neighbors while mitigating the impacts of food waste. Through its network of donors, volunteers and agencies, FeedHV rescues viable food products and redirects them to non-profit agencies with food assistance programs throughout Dutchess, Columbia, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan and Ulster counties. The Hudson Valley is a patchwork of cities, hamlets and villages, all with their own special flavor and needs. The FeedHV network connects these communities through its food rescue program and as a result, feeds more throughout the Valley.
Through its web-based and mobile application powered by ChowMatch, FeedHV links food donors of prepared but unserved food and fresh produce (including farms, restaurants, catering services, grocery stores, hospitals, universities, corporations and more) to nonprofit organizations with food assistance programs (such as food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters) through the efforts of a network of volunteers who transport, harvest and process donated food. Through ChowMatch, FeedHV enhances and streamlines the good work of businesses, agencies, and organizations already doing food recovery work.
Without the generous support of these partners, the FeedHV network would not be possible:
-
Ralph E. Ogden Foundation
-
Louis Greenspan Charitable Trust
-
The Thompson Family Foundation
-
The Bruderhof Family
-
And anonymous individuals and families
