Hector Tejada is the man behind the wonderful produce that comes out of Conuco Farm, located in New Paltz, NY.
“Conuco” means “garden” in the language of the Taino Indians and Conuco Farm is owned by Hector Tejada, who immigrated to NYC ten years ago from the Dominican Republic. He works hard to provide pesticide- and chemical-free vegetables ranging from tomatoes to okra and from collard greens to tomatillos. His produce is Certified Naturally Grown.
Conuco Farm is located on 18-acres of leased land in New Paltz, NY. Hector would eventually like to own land, where he’d be able to invest more in the eco-system and plant orchards, berries and other long-term crops. In additional to providing for the Bed-Stuy Farm Share, he sells at the NYC Greenmarkets throughout the week.
As a member of the Bed-Stuy Farm Share, you’ll have the opportunity to meet our farmer and learn about the produce you eat!
