Hudson Valley Seed Company, Accord, NY
Since receiving business support through HVADC’s Agribusiness Loan Fund Program last year, the Hudson Valley Seed Company (HVSC) has undergone a remarkable transformation. Building on its mission to preserve biodiversity and tell the stories behind heirloom seeds, HVSC recently opened a new retail store and education center at its new farm. The expansion has brought both its agricultural operations and community engagement under one roof, making the farm a true destination for growers, visitors, and those looking to learn.
The company has now established a permanent base for its retail and agricultural operations featuring greenhouses, demonstration gardens and trial gardens where HVSC tests new seed varieties. The equipment for the two greenhouses, which are integral to the company’s expansion, was funded by the loan.
