Mission
Primary exempt purpose: Educational. Unadilla Community Farm Education Center Inc's mission is to showcase and teach climate-resilient agriculture while increasing food access and access to herbalism for low-income, low-access communities. As a member of USDA's Conservation Stewardship Program and the first Otsego County recipient of New York State's Climate Resilient Farming program, we showcase a diversity of USDA NRCS recommended conservation practices. We run a variety of education and training programs on sustainable agriculture. We also help to increase food access and access to herbalism by donating 100% of our produce to food pantries, mutual aid groups, and herbal clinics, which in 2025 amounted to $109,182.42 worth of produce distributed to 27 partner organizations. By increasing the amount of fresh produce available for low-income, low-access communities, we both improve health and nutrition for communities in need and reduce family food budgets.
Program accomplishments
- In 2025, Unadilla Community Farm Education Center Inc's Beginning Farmer Training Program provided services to 76 people, including 7 participants in our Farm Fellowship, 1 student intern who received internship credits, 6 participants in a guided tour of the food forest, and 51 participants through Day Volunteering and Community Volunteer Days. The Farm Fellowship was a season-long, in-depth educational opportunity with a dual focus on both classroom and hands-on learning, wherein a total of 7 Fellows learned how to efficiently design and implement sustainable farming practices at-scale. Additionally, a guided tour of the food forest was held during 2025, providing an educational opportunity to 7 tour participants. Finally, our Day Volunteering and Community Volunteer Days offered an opportunity for the surrounding community to come help out on the farm, learn new gardening skills, and assist with production and harvesting for our food access and herbal aid work. Volunteers can count their hours towards experiential course credit requirements, community service requirements, and volunteer paid time off programs for corporate employees. The Beginning Farmer Training Program incurred $17,802.18 in programmatic expenses during 2025.Expenses $18,461
- Unadilla Community Farm Education Center Inc's Food Access Program consists of partnerships with local food pantries across Central New York to provide free nutrient-dense fruits, vegetables, and culinary herbs for their clients. Our nonprofit is located in, and serves communities in, USDA designated low-income, low-access, urban & rural food deserts. Feedback from the food pantry partners that we work with across the region indicates that they are under increased pressure to address rising food insecurity, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic, inflation, and recent SNAP cuts. Pantry partners frequently share with us that there is a lack of fresh produce available to their clients, and that some fresh produce programs that were available as a result of COVID relief funding have since dried up. By increasing the amount of high-quality fresh produce available to their clients, we can both improve nutrition for food insecure communities and reduce their family food budgets, freeing up family funds for other needs. In 2025, the Food Access Program delivered free produce to 15 food pantry partners across Central New York State, donating produce valued at $45,814.40. Our food pantry partners then distributed our produce to an estimated 7,078 people, based on the estimates of our food pantry partners on how many people they serve on a regular basis. The Food Access Program incurred $32,902.09 in programmatic expenses during 2025.Expenses $38,819
- Unadilla Community Farm Education Center Inc's Herbal Aid Program grows and delivers free, fresh medicinal herbs to mutual aid groups, free herbal clinics, and community apothecaries to increase herbal health access, particularly for economically disadvantaged and marginalized communities. Our herbal aid partners fill an important gap by providing free herbal health services to low-income and uninsured people who would otherwise fall through the cracks in the U.S. healthcare system. Additionally, distributing free herbal medicine to marginalized communities serves to reclaim plant medicine traditions that have been historically erased by the for-profit pharmaceutical industry. We provide fresh medicinal herbs to our herbal aid partners at no cost, including free delivery within a 90 minute radius of the farm and free shipping via priority mail in insulated coolers to preserve freshness. Our partners then utilize our herb donations to provide free herbal services including health & wellness consultations, internal and external herbal preparations, and supplies for home medicine making, particularly for low-income, BIPOC, unhoused, and immigrant communities. In 2025, we donated medicinal herbs valued at $55,338.87 to 12 herbal clinics located in New York State, Pennsylvania, Vermont, North Carolina, and Georgia. Our herbal aid partners then distributed our herbs and derivative herbal products to an estimated 1,427 people, based on the estimates of our herbal aid partners on how many people they serve on a regular basis. The Herbal Aid Program incurred $31,733.14 in programmatic expenses during 2025.Expenses $37,650
