Liberty Farms

What Liberty Farms does

Liberty Farms is a privately-held, family-owned certified organic farm operating on 600+ acres in Ghent, New York, in the Hudson Valley's Columbia County. Established in 2014 by Mark and Bev Cheffo, the business is a diversified agricultural operation with seven distinct revenue streams: a 20-week Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program distributing organic vegetables, eggs, and flowers; retail sales of pastured meats and produce through farm stores and farmers markets; an equestrian boarding center; a wedding and events venue (The BARN at Liberty Farms); a glamping accommodation site (The STAY at Liberty Farms); and an online shop for meat packages.

The farm's agricultural core is regenerative organic production certified by NOFA-NY and USDA Organic, with additional Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Grass-fed designations. The operation uses biodynamic and intensive growing methods, low-to-no-till practices, and a closed-loop system of rotational grazing across cattle, sheep, poultry, and pigs, with on-site compost and mulch production from farm waste. Supporting infrastructure includes a state-of-the-art 80' x 200' indoor equestrian arena with Travel Right dust-free footing, 28 fully matted stalls, a 20m x 60m outdoor arena, 10 luxury canvas glamping cabins, and a renovated former thoroughbred stallion barn repurposed as a wedding venue.

The go-to-market is fully direct-to-consumer across multiple channels: two Ghent-area retail locations (114 Ostrander Road, 170 Bartel Road), a Park Slope Brooklyn storefront (453A 4th Street), six NYC-area farmers markets (Brooklyn Borough Hall, Columbia University, Sunset Park, Stuyvesant Town, Astoria, Kingston NY), CSA distribution to Croton-on-Hudson and White Plains, an online shop with subscription options, and dedicated booking platforms for the wedding venue and glamping site. Disclosed pricing is limited to equestrian services (full board $975/month, pasture board $675/month, plus à la carte grooming and bedding). The company has 1-10 employees, is bootstrapped with no institutional funding or outside ownership, holds no patents, and is not part of any corporate parent or M&A activity.
