Zena Farmstead

What they do

Zena Farmstead is a regenerative working farm at 403 Zena Road in Kingston, NY. The operation explicitly identifies as regenerative: rotational grazing of pastured livestock, silvopasture, organic feed, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, no GMOs.

Production includes pastured meats, poultry, eggs, organic vegetables, and an in-house fermentation and baking program — sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, hot sauce, prepared meals, fresh baguettes. The vertical integration from soil to ferment is core to the operation’s economics.

Retail runs two surfaces on the farm itself:

• Self-serve refrigerator — open daily, limited inventory
• Saturday farm stand — 10 am to 2 pm, May 23 through October

Why it’s listed

Zena Farmstead is a substrate-builder operation by the directory‘s clearest definition: working soil, rotational and silvopastoral management of land, and on-farm value-add that captures more of the food dollar inside the operation rather than ceding it to processors. The directory tracks farms holding the regenerative line as the substrate the rest of the Mid-Hudson food economy rests on.

Bioregional fit

Kingston sits in the mid-hudson-valley — the Hudson River corridor between the Catskills and the Taconic Range, a region whose alluvial bottomlands and foothill pasture have supported a small-farm renaissance over the past two decades. Zena Farmstead is one of dozens of regenerative operations clustered along this stretch of the valley.
