USDA grant to cheesemakers at Edgwick Farm
Cornwall and Cornwall on Hudson (New York) - by Nancy Peckenham
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded a $120,000 grant to Edgwick Farm, a goat and cheese-making operation on Angola Road run by Talitha Thurau and Dan Jones. The grant, the largest of five given to farms in the Hudson Valley and Catskill area, is part of a nationwide program called Value-Added Producer Grants that are designed to stimulate business growth and provide more locally-grown food.
“This grant is a huge endorsement of what we are doing,” Talitha said after hearing the news. “This means that people see our farm’s viability.” She also noted that it is good to see the federal government re-investing tax dollars in the Cornwall community.
