Visit farms across the 52nd District this weekend and learn more about local agriculture in our community.
Local agriculture is the backbone of our community, with farms accounting for over 500,000 acres of land across the 52nd Senate District.
In Broome County alone, over 560 local farms pump over $20.9 million into our upstate economy. This year, just a few of our many local farms will open their doors so families can learn more about local agriculture and enjoy local goods produced right here in SD52.
Check out the list of all the farms below along with a map to help your find them (full PDF files above).
I hope you and your family can take some time to visit our local farms, learn and let our farmers know how much we appreciate their hard work.
