Greene County
Bordered by the Catskills, Greene County blends scenic beauty with strong agricultural traditions in dairy, livestock, and vegetable production. But like many rural regions, residents can struggle to access affordable, healthy foods close to home. Project FoodBox works alongside local partners to ensure Greene County families can enjoy fresh, nutritious meals, supporting healthier living while uplifting the area’s agricultural legacy.
Greene County's Agricultural Heritage
In Greene County’s Catskill foothills and river flats, indigenous farmers once tended corn, beans, squash, and sunflower plots and harvested berries, fish, and wild roots. Generations of settlers later created dairy and grain farms and orchard groves across the region. Despite that legacy, modern barriers make healthy food difficult for some residents to access. Local leaders and community programs are reconnecting families with the fresh, regionally rooted foods that define Greene County’s identity.

Addressing Food Waste and Nourishing Greene County
Greene County’s small farms and farm-to-table culture reflect a long agricultural tradition, yet residents in rural mountain areas often face food-access challenges. Project FoodBox routes local produce to local homes, reducing waste, expanding access to healthy food, and building a more eco-resilient county from Catskill to Windham and beyond.
