A tremendous thank you for your support and enthusiasm at the Hootenanny Dinner and the Friends of the Farmer Festival! Despite the rain, Funds and awareness were raised! Good times were had by all! Farmers are so happy for new business and connections. Thank you again for standing up for your farming community + food choices. More updates on the FarmOn! Foundation soon. Funds raised in 2011 launched summer camp for Entrepreneurial AG studies w Cornell Cooperative Extension for 20 Hudson Valley Students which started Monday, July 30th (the day after the festival!)

We wouldn’t miss this event…Farm On!” - David Wesley, NBA Veteran "As a professional athlete - I knew about the importance of nutrition but had no idea how vital a role the family farmer plays in my health. FarmOn! inspired me to eat local and better understand the good and ugly of our food systems to make good eating choices." - Eric Williams, R-NBA Boston Celtics
