Hudson Valley Fisheries (HVF) celebrated a standout year, highlighted by Aquaculture Operations Manager Brittany Peachey receiving the New York State Women in Agriculture Award and the Golden Hoof Award at the State Fair – recognition of her leadership and innovation in aquaculture. HVF, a longtime Hudson Valley AgriBusiness Development Corporation (HVADC) client, has earned top sustainability certifications, expanded distribution with Whole Foods Market, and gained national visibility with its steelhead trout featured on Michelin-starred menus and Singapore Airlines. Peachey credits HVADC’s grants, loans, and business support as key to HVF’s growth from startup to industry leader. As the company marks its 10th anniversary, HVF continues to innovate, expand new product lines, and strengthen New York’s trout industry, guided by a people-first culture and commitment to sustainable aquaculture.
