Big news for Germantown and Hawthorne Valley: Hawthorne Valley Farm Store is stepping in as the new steward of Otto's Market, ahead of the market's 100th anniversary in 2027.

Otto's has been part of daily life in Germantown since 1927. Together, we'll be working to bring the market access to our network of 200+ local farms, growers, and makers, and to keep good, organic food within reach for the people who depend on it. We're also committed to employing people from Germantown and the surrounding area.

This is one piece of a larger effort to build a stronger regional food system, which also includes a planned natural food store in the City of Hudson.

July featured article: Hawthorne Valley Farm Store by Jesse DeGroodt

“Why, why, why?” asked me of myself following a recent visit to the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store in Harlemville, NY, do I continue to instinctively hop in the ol’ jalopy and heedlessly aim directly for the local supermarket when the larder needs restocking? And then, why might I find myself looking askance at things if the basic stuff I find there seems so … basic? ...
