Our Work

For years, Sunray Sustainability has worked with organizations, schools, municipalities, and community-based projects to develop productive landscapes and ecological systems throughout New York's Capital Region.

Our work has centered on gardens, orchards, food forests, agroforestry, composting systems, outdoor learning spaces, and whole-site planning, along with the infrastructure and stewardship needed to support them over time.

Our approach has always been rooted in understanding a site as a whole—its land, water, existing infrastructure, patterns of use, and the people who care for it. Projects have ranged from individual gardens and orchards to larger site plans, implementation projects, educational programs, and long-term institutional partnerships.

For schools and community organizations in particular, much of our work has explored how productive landscapes can become places for hands-on learning, participation, and ongoing stewardship, connecting the care of gardens, greenhouses, orchards, composting systems, and other projects with meaningful educational experiences.

Looking Ahead

Sunray Sustainability is currently focused on our existing partnerships and ongoing projects and is not actively seeking new work.

Much of the work and experience developed through Sunray Sustainability is now informing the growth of Sunray Community Farm, where our focus is shifting toward the farm, perennial nursery, education, and continued collaboration with schools and community organizations.

We are grateful to the many organizations, educators, community members, and project partners we've had the opportunity to work alongside over the years.
