Why Battenkill

Why we exist

Family farms run on people: the crew that comes back each season and knows the work. H-2A makes that crew possible, but small farms often pay too much for it and get too little attention. Battenkill Ag exists to give farming families reliable, low-cost H-2A service, with a dedicated team by their side all season.

What we believe

How we work with every farm

Family farms deserve the same service

A farm bringing in a small crew needs its workers on time just as much as a large operation. Size should not decide how quickly your questions get answered.

H-2A should be affordable

We keep our service low cost so the program works for family farms, not just the biggest growers.

You should know who to call

One team member handles your farm from planning to the end of the season. No support queue, no starting over with someone new.

No surprises

We tell you what is coming before it arrives: deadlines, approvals, delays and what each one means for your season.

Who we work with

Farming families with a seasonal crew

We work with family-owned farms growing fruit, vegetables and nursery plants, orchards and vineyards, row crops, and livestock operations with seasonal work. Whether you bring in a few workers or a few dozen, you get the same team member and the same care.
