John Haight

Former IBMer, John is the Patriarch of the family. Loves to chat up a good story and listen to yours. But don’t turn your back, as he might be gone. He has been known to leave without notice. You can often find him driving around delivering our products throughout the Hudson Valley. His partner in crime, Cheryl works for the Wappingers Court system and can sometimes be found accompanying him on deliveries. He has much pride for his family and often refers to his 3 grandchildren, Claudia, Delaney and Colin as his legacy.

Allison Haight

Born and raised on Long Island. Graduated the Culinary Institute of America in 1994. Worked for 20 years in the food and beverage industry including over 10 years for renowned Chef, Bob Kinkead. Starting working for Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils in 2015. Along with her husband Jeff, a title is hard to come by. I am the organizer of the company. I plan on and off premise events as well as run the inside sales. You’ll often find me baking our fresh baked breads. I’m always thinking about what’s next and enjoy coming up with fresh ideas for the company. The best part of my job is working in a Sunflower field with my best friend, the guy with the big black hat.

Jeffrey Haight

Born and raised in the Hudson Valley. Graduated the Culinary Institute of America in 1996. Worked in various notable restaurants and hotels in the Washington DC region, followed by a career in food sales with Chefs Warehouse. Started with Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils in 2017. I am a people person and love to talk to others about our products, their lives and the world around us. I prefer not to have a title. You can find me at the farm producing our products, in a restaurant or retail store talking shop with a Chef or Owner, and on the road delivering. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and product development. I’m the guy with the big black hat.
