2011 Crop Statistics

According to the USDA, in 2011, New York ranked third in the US in number of certified organic farms. In that year, New York’s certified organic farms sold a total of $107 million in organically produced commodities, including $38.5 million in crops sales and $68.3 million in sales of livestock, poultry and their products. Average sales were $186,668 per farm.

Fifty-six percent, or $60.2 million of total organic sales in New York were from milk from cows. Organic milk sales totaled $3.77 million. Organic crop sales included over $22.1 million from field crops, $14.5 million from vegetables, and $1.36 million from fruit and berries.

In New York just 10 percent of sales were direct to consumers, via farm stands, farmers’ markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs), and other arrangements, while 83 percent of New York organic sales were through wholesale channels, including processors, millers and packers, and grower cooperatives. Seven percent of New York sales were direct-to-retail buyers such as natural food stores, supermarkets, and restaurants.
