Our Mission: Connecting Farms to Families
Fourfold Markets was founded with a simple yet profound mission: to support the local economy by creating a space where community members can connect with the farmers and artisans who nourish and sustain them. We believe that food should be fresh, local, and responsibly grown, and that small-scale farmers are the backbone of a sustainable food system.
By shopping at our markets, you’re not only getting the highest quality produce and goods but also helping to keep the region’s agricultural traditions alive. We are proud to support environmentally sound farming practices that protect the land and its resources for future generations. When you buy from us, you’re investing in more than just fresh food—you’re investing in the health and sustainability of your community.
A Celebration of Local Flavors and Traditions
The Hudson Valley has long been known for its agricultural bounty, from its rolling apple orchards and vineyards to its fertile soil that produces some of the finest fruits, vegetables, and grains in the country. Fourfold Markets serves as a vibrant marketplace that brings this bounty to life, featuring seasonal produce, hand-crafted goods, and artisanal products that reflect the diversity and creativity of our local growers and makers.
Our markets are not just a place to shop, but a place to gather, celebrate, and learn. We host a variety of events and activities throughout the year that highlight the unique offerings of each season—from springtime plant sales and summer harvest festivals to cozy winter markets brimming with holiday treats. These events create a sense of joy and discovery, inviting people of all ages to experience the best of what our region has to offer.
Supporting Local Farmers, Building Stronger Communities
At Fourfold Markets, we are passionate about supporting small farms and businesses. In today’s fast-paced world, where large corporations dominate the food industry, we stand as a beacon for those who believe in the importance of buying local and making thoughtful, sustainable choices. Every time you shop at one of our markets, you’re making a direct impact on the livelihood of local farmers, artisans, and entrepreneurs.
We recognize the unique challenges that small-scale farmers face in today’s economy, and we’re here to provide them with a platform to grow their businesses. Our markets offer farmers and artisans the opportunity to engage directly with customers, share their stories, and build relationships that go beyond a simple transaction. By choosing to support Fourfold Markets, you’re helping to ensure that these small businesses continue to thrive.
A Hub for Sustainability and Education
In addition to providing a space for local farmers and artisans, we are committed to being a leader in sustainability and education. We believe in the importance of understanding where our food comes from, how it’s grown, and the impact that our choices have on the environment. That’s why we offer a variety of educational opportunities at our markets, including cooking demonstrations, workshops on sustainable gardening practices, and talks on the benefits of eating seasonally.
We also work to reduce our environmental footprint by promoting sustainable practices within our market operations. From reducing single-use plastics to encouraging composting and recycling, we are continually seeking ways to make our markets as eco-friendly as possible. Our goal is to inspire our community to think more consciously about the choices they make and how they can contribute to a healthier planet.
