2011 FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

FRIENDS OF THE FARMER FESTIVAL
for Hudson Valley Food Lovers

We came, we ate, we drank, we laughed,
we danced under the stars...
and we raised money to support future farmers!

YOU all made it possible to celebrate the farmers, the sun and bring awareness to the importance of eating local.

THANK YOU my Friends of the Farmer!

"Congrats to you for pulling everything off with such class and panache. It was indeed quite a sight to sit back a few times during the afternoon and watch all of the families enjoying really high quality local food and beverages in such a beautiful setting. I would think the vendors would be very happy, they all looked very busy throughout the day."
