Benefit Corporation

B Corporations are defined as a legal company structure that allows for-profit companies to protect their mission and culture beyond typical for-profit shareholder primacy. This means thats no matter who is in charge as the company grows, Empire Farm Winery & Market has the flexibility to put the mission and the people above the profits. 

Our Mission

Empire Farm Market, Inc. (“EFM”) was incorporated as a benefit corporation in New York State (“NYS”) on 26-3-2021 with the mission of bringing the products of NYS small family farms & craft producers to the consumers who enjoy them while supporting those producers & communities through exposure on our platform, scholarships, & combating food scarcity.  Our specific benefit purpose is, once profitable, to support this aim by donating 2% of net profits to Feeding NYS, a 501(C)(3) organization, and our Empire Farm Market Scholarship Fund to benefit agricultural & culinary scholarships at NYS schools.
