The Rondout Valley Growers Association (RVGA) is a nonprofit community organization comprised of local farmers, residents, and businesses committed to strengthening the region’s family farms and preserving agricultural open space for future generations. The Valley’s fertile soils have been farmed since before the Half Moon sailed up the Hudson River. Since its start in 2003, RVGA has helped local farmers, businesses, and the community to support and strengthen local farming.
