About the farm and our philosophy.
Founder farmer Billiam van Roestenberg has been innovating farm practices for sometime now. Purchasing the farm in 1999 with-in a year he started farming and selling produce. In the beginning he was well known for his remarkable colored egg shells and dark yellow egg yolks. Two years later expanding with his apple orchard, goats, sheep and lots of veggies. Learning quickly how to market and sell at farmers markets. Co-founding several farmers markets and co-founding other organizations like the Ulster County Beekeepers Association and sitting on several other boards. Billiam is always striving to help in any way he can. For almost 6 years he sat on the local Zoning Board of Appeals, trying to preserve farmland and the scenic Hudson River Valley.
Billiam was on the boardand the President of the Board of Directors of People’s Place the largest food Pantry in Ulster County for almost a decade. Cultivating community and farmers is his core mission. His farm has been donating tons of produce and facilitating many other resources to non-profits. Farmer Billiam has been on the Ulster County Tourism Advisory Board for several years where the focus as always is on Ag-tourism and uses his knowledge and connections to get things done. He knows a lot about 'Agrotourismo', hosting many fundraisers and events on his farm and others. For 25 years, he has learned a lot about entertaining and hosting large events. In 2022 he hosted his 180th wedding!
Beyond organic are the practices we use on Liberty View Farm. Very sustainable practices, the farm even uses a 100% electric vehicle! We also firmly believe in paying living wages so everyone that works with us is paid $25-$65 per hour. Apple picking, farm weddings, farmers markets and farm stands keep the Hudson Valley alive and thriving. These cottage industries are very powerful and very green. All for one and one for all!
And remember to 'Eat Healthy and be Happy!!
When Billiam isn't farming, hosting an event or working with food pantries he will doing something else that is beautiful and sustainable.... he will be sailing on his boat Liberty! Oh and he likes Ice Sailing in the winter on Ice Yachts!
