Fire Pit Master Brandon Snooks and his Farm to Fire team from Hudson Valley BBQ Co. command the fire pits — spit-roasted meats, wood-fired sides, and grazing boards built from what's growing nearby. Snooks brings live-fire cooking to life the way it was meant to be: over an open flame, with intention.

When SNAP paused 🥦FarmOn! didn’t.

Since September, FarmOn! has provided fresh, farm-packed CSA boxes to 500+ food-insecure women and children each month — supporting wellness, nourishing families, and paying farmers directly for fresh produce and storage crops. 💛♥️

Real impact means feeding people, supporting local agriculture, and making sure no child goes hungry.

When politics stops funding for feeding, we step in & FarmOn!

🌟 The Ro-Show c. 2014 — Thank You, Roman Petr 🌟

In 2014, we set out to build more than a farm — we set out to build a future. A dream rooted in training the next generation to feed us ♥️ FarmOn!

That dream began with preserving the historic Astor-built property that became Empire Farm 1830 in Copake, NY — now an accredited working farm campus in partnership with SUNY 💚 15 years later at work and working

🌟 Through Roman’s extraordinary generosity, Eric’s unwavering commitment, meticulous historic construction practices, and countless volunteer hours, we laid the foundation for something lasting: community, commerce, sustainability, and true succession planning.

🚜 What started as preservation, became purpose In perpetuity. What started as restoration became FarmOn! Foundation.

Roman — your craftsmanship, heart, and belief in this vision built more than structures. You helped build a legacy. We are forever grateful. You are forever in our hearts 🌱

Godspeed 👑BuiltFarmTough
