Company description
All For One One For All (AOOA) is a 14-acre non-profit regenerative silvopasture farm, farm stand, education center and distillery in New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley. The name of the farm is inspired by the famous proclamation in Alexandre Dumas’ Three Musketeers, which captures the heart of the project: to stand up for what is right and enrich our local communities, together. AOOA's mission is to promote responsible agricultural and culinary practices as transformative tools for personal well-being, community prosperity, and global sustainability. Our farm aspires to showcase the possibilities and benefits of an agriculture that builds soil and improves habitats, all while producing abundant harvests.
We grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit, which we sell at our farmstand and which our kitchen staff turns into delicious meals served to the public throughout the season. We host educational workshops, harvest-themed special events and Friday night happy hours with live music in order to spotlight what we’re making in our distillery from herbs, nuts and fruit grown on site. 2025 will be our sixth growing season.
We are seeking enthusiastic, team-oriented individuals to join AOOA for the 2025 growing season. Ideal candidates have spent some time working on a farm in crop and fruit production and/or livestock management, however, we are open to training those without prior experience. Motivated, reliable, organized and hardworking people who are committed to developing their agricultural skills are a great fit with our team.
