Embracing the common practice of the era, the family initiated door-to-door sales, delivering fresh milk and produce directly to their neighbors. This approach bolstered their business and fostered deep connections within the community, laying the groundwork for a lasting legacy. 

David Meisner, Hyman and Rose's son, was born and raised on the farm. He and his wife Rosalind ventured beyond the original Fingar Road property and acquired an apple orchard on nearby Yates Road. This addition aligned with the Hudson Valley's prominence in apple production (New York State ranks second nationally) and allowed them to produce 29 to 32 million bushels annually. Recognizing the shifting consumer landscape, the young couple diversified their offerings by reintroducing dairy and vegetable farming. They also established a roadside stand on Route 9, a community staple for over six decades. 

The next chapter unfolded like most good stories, with a few twists and turns. Stephen and Melissa Meisner had successful careers in engineering and nursing, respectively, but in 2017, Stephen felt a calling to return to his family's agricultural roots. Amid a renaissance in the Hudson Valley, marked by an influx of weekenders and a burgeoning local economy, the couple founded Meisner's Heritage Farm. The new farm store opened for business in a traditional pole barn, just down the road from the original stand. It was named to honor the enduring legacy of the Meisner family.

Today, Meisner's Heritage Farm Market & Eatery is a destination celebrating the rich tapestry of the Hudson Valley. We invite you to enjoy a meal and discover our high-quality produce, meats, cheeses, seasonal plants, flowers, and curated selection of goods from local makers.
