About Us
Hi there! Hudson Grown is written by Kelly Kingman and photographed by Paul O'Hanlon. We share a love for fresh, local food and an a deep appreciation for the people who make it possible — from the farmers and foragers to the chef and the home cook.
Since relocating to the Hudson Valley in early 2008, we've become deeply connected to local food systems. Kelly helps run a Beacon-based local food-buying collective, Hudson Valley Real Food and Paul is a member of the steering committee for Slow Food Hudson Valley.
In addition to writing and photography, Kelly and Paul help small businesses leverage their online presence with social media, local search optimization and affordable web design services. If you are interested in these services, don't hesitate to call (845) 476-8168 or email paul [at] hudsongrown.com for more information.
