Hepworth Farms, founded in 1818, is a historic, seventh-generation family farm located in Milton, New York, about 75 miles north of New York City along the Hudson River. In 1982, after earning her degree from Cornell University, Amy Hepworth took over the farm and embarked on transforming it with a holistic approach, moving away from conventional, mass production farming methods. Today, the farm focuses on growing a variety of produce including tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers, and diverse greens. The farm continues to thrive under the dedicated management of Amy, her twin sister Gail Hepworth, and Gerry Greco.
