Supporting the Land That Supports Us
No farms, no food®, no Hudson Valley Skin Care.
It's that simple. The farms that grow our sunflower oil, honey, beeswax, and oats aren't just suppliers— they're our neighbors, our inspiration, and the foundation of everything we make. Without them, we don't exist.
That's why we donate 1% of every sale to American Farmland Trust, an organization dedicated to protecting farmland, supporting farmers, and ensuring agricultural land stays productive for generations to come.
The Farms We Love Are Disappearing
Every year, America loses 2 million acres of farmland to development. Small family farms face rising costs, shifting markets, and pressure to sell their land. The Hudson Valley, known for its agricultural heritage, is not immune.
We source ingredients from these farms. We know the people who work this land. And we refuse to stand by while it disappears.
Through our partnership with American Farmland Trust, we're helping protect the farms that make our products, and our region possible.
Where Your 1% Goes
We believe skincare should do more than just feel good, it should do good, too.
Protecting Farmland
Every dollar helps prevent agricultural land from being lost to development. This means the farms we source from today will still be here tomorrow, and for the next generation. To date, American Farmland Trust has protected over 6.5 million acres nationwide.
Supporting Sustainable Farming
Your purchase funds programs that help farmers adopt eco-friendly practices: healthier soil, cleaner water, better crops. This means purer ingredients in your skincare and a healthier planet.
Empowering Farmers
American Farmland Trust provides farmers with training, resources, and tools to succeed in a changing market. When farmers thrive, we all benefit— from fresher ingredients to stronger local economies.
Our Partner in Protection
American Farmland Trust has been protecting farmland and supporting farmers since 1980. Their mission is simple: keep farmers farming.
They work directly with farmers, communities, and policymakers to save the land that sustains us, promote farming practices that protect our environment, and keep farmers on the land they love.
To date, they've helped protect over 6.5 million acres of agricultural land across the country.
From Hudson Valley Farms to Your Skin
Our Farm-to-Face approach isn't just about fresh ingredients—it's about relationships. We know the farms that grow our sunflower oil. We visit the apiaries that produce our honey and beeswax. We source oats from mills that process local grain.
These aren't anonymous suppliers in a catalog. They're our neighbors. And when you buy from us, you're supporting them too.
Here's our main ingredients sourced locally:
- Sunflower Seed Oil — Cold-pressed from blooms grown right here in the Hudson Valley
- Honey & Beeswax — From local apiaries where bees pollinate our neighbors' orchards
- Organic Oats — Stone-milled from grain grown in upstate New York
What 1% Actually Means
It might not sound like much, but 1% adds up. Every purchase contributes to a collective effort that's making real change.
Through our partnership, Hudson Valley Skin Care customers have helped us contribute to farmland protection across America, and we're just getting started.
When you choose Hudson Valley Skin Care, you're voting with your dollars for:
- Farmland preservation over development
- Sustainable agriculture over industrial farming
- Local economies over corporate supply chains
- Future generations having access to fresh, quality ingredients
You're not just buying skincare. You're investing in the land, the farmers, and the future of the Hudson Valley.
