Description
In 2014, a group of like-minded investors came together with the mission to build an innovative model of organic farming. They started an LLC with the goal of preserving Chester’s black dirt, converting it to organic growing practices, and providing affordable long-term leases to intermediate-level farmers. The Ralph E. Ogden Foundation, a private family foundation in Mountainville, NY is the lead investor.
