Thank You for Another Sunflower Season!
Our 9th Annual Sunflower Picking Event has officially come to a close, and we want to thank everyone who joined us at the farm this summer.
This season certainly gave us our share of challenges—Mother Nature had plans of her own—but through the weather delays, changing fields and everything else that comes with farming, we were incredibly grateful to see so many familiar faces and first-time visitors come out to enjoy the farm with us.
Thank you for picking flowers, supporting our local musicians, enjoying an evening at the farm, shopping with us, and helping us support Sparrow’s Nest along the way. We truly appreciate everyone who helped make our 9th season a memorable one.
Missed Something at the Pop-Up Shop?
Good news—you haven’t completely missed your chance!
We’ll be updating our online store with merchandise from this year’s sunflower event, along with our Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils products and other farm favorites.
It’s also a great time to stock up for the holidays or get a head start on your holiday shopping. Check back soon as we continue adding items to the store.
Where to Find Us Next
Sunflower season may be over, but we’re not disappearing until next August.
Check the calendar below to see where we’ll be next. We’ll be attending events throughout the coming months, and we’d love to see you again.
Thank you for spending part of your summer with us. We hope you enjoyed our 9th season as much as we enjoyed sharing it with you.
See you next year for #10!

Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils © 2025
Former IBMer, John is the Patriarch of the family. Loves to chat up a good story and listen to yours. But don’t turn your back, as he might be gone. He has been known to leave without notice. You can often find him driving around delivering our products throughout the Hudson Valley. His partner in crime, Cheryl works for the Wappingers Court system and can sometimes be found accompanying him on deliveries. He has much pride for his family and often refers to his 3 grandchildren, Claudia, Delaney and Colin as his legacy.
Born and raised on Long Island. Graduated the Culinary Institute of America in 1994. Worked for 20 years in the food and beverage industry including over 10 years for renowned Chef, Bob Kinkead. Starting working for Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils in 2015. Along with her husband Jeff, a title is hard to come by. I am the organizer of the company. I plan on and off premise events as well as run the inside sales. You’ll often find me baking our fresh baked breads. I’m always thinking about what’s next and enjoy coming up with fresh ideas for the company. The best part of my job is working in a Sunflower field with my best friend, the guy with the big black hat.
Born and raised in the Hudson Valley. Graduated the Culinary Institute of America in 1996. Worked in various notable restaurants and hotels in the Washington DC region, followed by a career in food sales with Chefs Warehouse. Started with Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils in 2017. I am a people person and love to talk to others about our products, their lives and the world around us. I prefer not to have a title. You can find me at the farm producing our products, in a restaurant or retail store talking shop with a Chef or Owner, and on the road delivering. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and product development. I’m the guy with the big black hat.
