Company description
Blooming Hill is a small, family-owned farm with an onsite restaurant and event company. The farm uses around 100 acres of land in Blooming Grove and Chester, NY and grows a very wide variety of specialty organic produce. The founding business for the farm was selling produce wholesale to restaurants and retail at farmer's markets in the Hudson Valley, New York City, & the surrounding area. In recent years we expanded our offerings to include a full service on site restaurant and catering for events we host at the farm. Our season for larger outdoor events- mainly weddings- runs from May until early November but booking and planning events take place year round. .
We center the food and beverage program for the restaurant and events around the produce we grow on our properties and attempt to source anything that we don't produce ourselves from the highest quality farmers & purveyors.
