Ulster County
Ulster County’s mix of mountain farmland, orchards, and independent food producers helps define the Hudson Valley’s culinary identity. Yet, households across the county can still face challenges securing consistent access to nutritious meals. Project FoodBox supports Ulster County communities by improving access to fresh, locally grown foods, fostering healthier families, and stronger community ties.
Ulster County's Agricultural Heritage
Ulster County’s agricultural story begins with Lenape and Esopus tribes tending cornfields and harvesting wild berries, game, and fish from rich river ecosystems. Settlers followed with orchards, dairy herds, and grain fields that grew into a lasting food economy. Today, farms and markets reflect this deep heritage — but food access remains uneven. Community partners are working to ensure the nourishment rooted in Ulster’s soil reaches every resident.

Addressing Food Waste and Nourishing Ulster County
Ulster County farmers grow everything from orchard fruit to organic vegetables, yet many residents still struggle to secure fresh, affordable food. Project FoodBox supports waste diversion and equitable distribution by sourcing from local growers and directing those goods to families across Kingston, New Paltz, and rural hamlets — advancing food justice and sustainability side-by-side.
