“Please note we have changed the meeting place from previous flyers sent out, and it is now going to be held in the Commerce Chenango building,” said CCE Agriculture Economic Specialist Rich Taber.
Taber said the free luncheon invitation is for Chenango County Farms and Agricultural businesses only. Each business may register a maximum of two owners or employees.
“Open Farm Day is not just for food producers, we are looking to invite forestry oriented businesses and maple syrup producers too,” he said.
Registration for luncheon is due by February 10. Email Rhonda Turrell at rlt236@cornell.edu or call 607-334-5841 ext. 1111.
Taber explained the focus of the meeting is to plan for the 2026 Open Farm Day, review last year, and explore ways to showcase local products and to promote fresh wholesome foods.
“We'll review regulations for the event and why it benefits Farmers and Ag businesses,” said Taber.
