STORE
HVFS is a curated regional marketplace dedicated to showcasing plants, agricultural goods, and nutritional products that originate, are manufactured, or are distributed from the Hudson Valley.
Unlike large national marketplaces that disconnect consumers from the source - the Hudson Valley Farmers Store celebrates provenance. Every product on our platform reflects a tangible connection to the Hudson Valley - its soil, its growers, its producers, and its entrepreneurial spirit.
We position ourselves at the intersection of:
-
Local agriculture
-
Nutritional innovation
-
Transparent sourcing
-
Regional economic empowerment
Hudson Valley Farmers Store is not just an e-commerce platform - it is a digital extension of the Valley's agricultural identity.
our history
AZZY RECKESS
CEO & Founder
HVFS began many years ago as a small mushroom operation named "C4 Mushrooms". Azzy, our founder, is an international businessman who was introduced to the world of exotic mushrooms many years ago and he immediately recognized their importance. Mushrooms are a key element for optimal health and wellness and are an ultimate source of crucial vitamins and minerals.
