In this episode of Know Your Food, we sit down with Rick Ofosky, co-owner of Ronnybrook Farm, a third-generation dairy farm in the Hudson Valley known for its commitment to animal welfare, minimal processing, and quality over scale. We dig into the realities of running a small-scale dairy today, including the pressures of consolidation, the hidden costs of distribution, and the key differences between small, family-run operations and large-scale organic dairy.

If you’ve ever wondered what a truly regional food system could look like—or what it takes to keep small farms viable in today’s economy—this episode is for you.

Recorded live at our warehouse in Bushwick as part of the Know Your Food event series.
