Welcome to Glynwood! We spent the day at Glynwood Center for regional food and farming. Glynwood is a non-profit organization serving food and farming change makers from New York's Hudson Valley and beyond. They advance local food production in Hudson Valley region, as well as educate a national audience about efforts to regionalize food and agriculture. They are inspired by, and contribute to work far beyond the borders of the Hudson Valley.
