ABOUT US
The Valley Table is the only publication in the Hudson Valley exclusively devoted to regional farms, food and cuisine. We support local agriculture and efforts to strengthen the links among producers, marketers, restaurateurs and consumers. We urge you to patronize businesses that feature wholesome, Hudson Valley products and to support economic initiatives that benefit regional agriculture and related efforts.
We welcome articles, art and photographs concerning regional agriculture, restaurants, food production and preparation, wine, beer, or travel-related material focused on these subjects.
The Valley Table is published five times a year (March, June, August, October and December). Distribution is free at selected sites throughout the Hudson Valley or by subscription. Advertising deadline is five weeks prior to publication. ISSN: 1257-8417.
