In this episode of Know Your Food, we sit down with Simon Ziegler, co-founder of Sun Sprout Farms, to explore how a lifelong passion for growing food—and a commitment to ecological stewardship—has shaped one of the Hudson Valley’s most trusted organic produce distributors. Sun Sprout connects small farms to the restaurants, markets, and communities that rely on them, making local food accessible while keeping sustainability at the heart of their work.

We dive into the nuts and bolts of running a local food hub, the delicate balance between scale and integrity, and the ways Simon and his team support regenerative farming practices across the region. From managing seasonal abundance to building strong farmer relationships, Simon shares what it really takes to nourish a resilient food system.

If you care about local farms, sustainable supply chains, or the future of fresh food in New York, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
