What is Healthy Community Harvest?

Healthy Community Harvest is a not for profit food packaging and processing business to be located in Schenectady’s Hamilton Hill neighborhood. The project’s main goals are:

1) Connect local farms to a food insecure neighborhood to provide affordable food to low income residents.
2) Provide employment and economic development opportunities for low income residents.
3) Provide additional markets for New York’s farmers.
4) Promote healthy foods to help fight childhood obesity.

How our products are made.

All Healthy Community Harvest products are made by hand in the Cobleskill NY. We are currently in the process of building a production facility within Schenectady NY’s Hamilton Hill neighborhood.

Our products are produced using produce grown in New York, when available. We purchase produce from local farmers who utilize organic and/or sustainable growing methods. We utilize only high quality ingredients for our products, such as olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Many other producers utilize lower quality ingredients. We believe you will love the flavor that only comes from quality ingredients.
