Agriculture is not a major part of Sleepy Hollow's present-day economy. As an urbanized and suburbanized Hudson River village, most land is devoted to housing, institutions, transportation, parks, and commercial uses rather than active farming.
Historically, the surrounding Hudson Valley supported:
- Small-scale farming - Orchards and garden production - Estate agriculture - River-based food supply networks
Within the village today:
- **Commercial crop production:** Very limited or absent at meaningful scale - **Livestock:** Not a significant sector - **Fisheries:** No major commercial fishery industry is associated with the village today, though the Hudson has longstanding fishing traditions - **Forestry:** Not a commercial village industry - **Food production:** Primarily through retail, restaurants, and regional distribution networks rather than local farming - **Organic/local food presence:** Residents have access to the broader Hudson Valley's farm economy through nearby farmers markets and regional suppliers
The village's agricultural significance is therefore mostly historical and regional rather than current and local.
